Perfect imperfections printed, brought and sold
Cool refined portrayals edited, controlled
Society's obligation to the the perfect faultless you
I refuse to be defined by those
Who ignore what's wrong and refuse what's true
A blemish makes you who you are
But you set your sights not as far
An error holds you in your place
A scar dements your perfect face
In mediocrity you dwell
A broken soul's length far from hell
You wish so bad that you had that look
You'll take no matter what it took
But commerce feeds on lust and greed
Sells our dreams and makes us need
Invades young minds to set them free
I'm scared, but they won't have me
In debt for life now scars like dreams so slowly fade
Look beyond the glare of fame
Look inside, we're all the same
They dictate interpretation
Is your opinion really yours?
Ask yourself just why
They sell us gangs and worship whores
Scars like dreams so slowly fade
Your idols face the choices they made
Look beyond the glare of fame
Look inside, we're all the same
