Walk down the road
into the rain
mock at the scene
but what do you gain

you judge before you get close
that the imperfect are weeds
Though it be a rose that grew
in that cracked street

You see with naked eyes
but let nothing more show through
you can't begin to sense me
but I've always seen you

An ink stain on a shirt
a sandbox full of dirt
the mess of morning dew
they're all mistakes to you

ignoring subtle detail
your pleasure is my pain
please stop ignoring me
someone light a flame

You can keep your head down low
blind from cons in flawless things
the ashes on a rose
a dove with broken wings

nothing is perfect
that beauty is fake
just images and words
perfect is a mistake

take the first step
before the light dies
i'll be here waiting
when you open your eyes

you'd see the truth
for what it be
and maybe then
you'd see me
