Eric Slick - Perfectionism

Copied!edit Lyrics

You lie in bed
Asleep on your face
You wonder what happened after falling from Grace
You won't admit it
But the lies keep coming
The race over and you can't stop running

It come to you in waves
You're drowning in mistakes

You think you want it
But you don't really need it
It's hard to swallow
'Cause it just gets stuck in your throat
Perfectionism is a dangerous rhythm
Caught in a loop so you don't have fun anymore

What can you do?
The joke is on you
The fear of rejection keeps the stones in your shoes
You read "Big Magic"
But you skipped the ending
Imposter syndrome
Til you stopped pretending
It always falls apart (you know it!)
It's over when it starts (come on!)
You know it in your heart
AND YOU CAN'T STOP RUNNIN'

You think you want it
But you don't really need it
It's hard to swallow
'Cause it just gets stuck in your throat
Perfectionism is a dangerous rhythm
Caught in a loop so you don't have fun anymore

I want people to see it before I delete it
