about

This song really wanted to be the opener, I mean what better way to start an album than a punch in the face right? It's like Zeppelin meets Rage Against The Machine type riffage with a twist of whatever Rock's vocals sound like on top.

"They don't have to rip you down to be on the level with me" = "I want to be better, I don't want you to be worse."

lyrics

Perfect
(R. Johnson/T. Chesal)

I let my pride get the best of me
Instead of love pushed you away
Envy green is driving me crazy
Blaming you for ending up this way

I wish that I could be perfect
Then everyone could see
They don't have to rip you down
To be on the level with me

It's so hard living in your shadow
I don't know who I'm supposed to be
I'm so lost in your shadow
Let the sun go down and set me free

I wish that I could be perfect
Then everyone could see
They don't have to rip you down
To be on the level with me
I wish that i could be perfect
Then everyone could see
They don't have to rip you down
To be on the level with me

Solo

I wish that I could be perfect
Then everyone could see
They don't have to rip you down
To be on the level with me
I wish that i could be perfect
Then everyone could see
They don't have to rip you down
To be on the level with me
