Embrace the Imperfection Lyrics

What would make this perfect?
I'm afraid that doesn't exist
I fooled myself so many times
I thought there was an end

I must pull myself aside
Will to learn and will to live
To find life and beauty
In the imperfection

I find myself obsessing
On little things that don't mean much
It's hard sometimes to let go when
When your mind is so damned focused

Divert my attention
I must get off this useless trip
And come back to the present
Embrace the imperfection

What would make this perfect?
I'm afraid that doesn't exist
I fooled myself so many times
I thought there was an end

You'll never really get there
It's just a time you're trying to live
But in the midst of your plans
Is your life that happens

Yeah

Must I choose obsession over taking time?
Can I step away from it all? Can I live my life?
Am I entrapped by my compulsions?
Am I just wasting time?
Am I just wasting time?

Yeah

Am I just wasting time?

Unnecessary obsession
Unnecessary compulsion
Unnecessary obsession, unnecessary waste of time

What would make this perfect?
I'm afraid that doesn't exist
I fooled myself so many times
I thought there was an end

Like a cat chasing her own tail
A cycle of self-deceit
You believe there's an ending
Can't start until it's done

Like a cat chasing her own tail
You'll never really reach the end
So stop chasing your own tail
And try to see what you're missing

Unnecessary obsession
Unnecessary compulsion
Unnecessary obsession, unnecessary waste of time

There's no such thing as perfect
It's just a chase without an end
I must divert my focus
Control the obsession, control the obsession
Control the obsession
