lyrics

Planning takes longer than the process
A pattern that will make me action less
Expect all conditions to submit to my mission
Refusing to work with any opposition
Resulting in the ruin of new creations
Feeding the beast of frustration
Condemnation doesn't motivate me
I write it on the list of incomplete aspirations

Eats away at my objectivity
A disease to my minds achievability
Contaminated so much I ignore the effects
And proudly declare I am PERFECT

Perfection is temporary good enough lasts longer
There is no judge, there are no other challengers
I'm the only one in my way
Infected by the idea everything I produce
Must be exact and pure and flawlessly introduced

Obtaining this ideal is not worth the effort
Disconnecting myself will ease the discomfort
Not you or I can achieve this every time
But it was never necessary to cross the finish line

Paralyzes me Makes me make Excuses
Paralyzes me Makes me oh so lazy
Paralyzes me Makes me DO NOTHING
Paralyzes me Makes me make Excuses
Paralyzes me Makes me oh so lazy
Paralyzes me Makes me DO NOTHING
Paralyzes me Makes me oh so lazy

Identify with this idol and idle you'll become
We don't hold the power to live up to its expectations
Skeptical about accepting my limitations
But it is the key to my innovation
Mastering the skill of making the pieces fit
And when they don't I permit ..myself... to be OK.............. with it
