Lyric

Beyond Perfection

Tera Kira

How far do I have to go

Before this ends?

The answer dissolved

Into the wind

I said, “This is as far as I’ll go”

But my hand reached out again

Every limit line I draw

Turns to sand when I step ahead

For who? For what?

Even the questions blur

In this thickening fog

My voice won’t carry through

Higher, higher, farther out

Desire grows its wings

This endless urge inside of me

Still has no name

I’m running now, still running

Into a sky with no map

I know perfection’s just a lie

I know it—still I chase it

Stacking up one “almost there”

Until I lose who I was

All the knowledge in my hands

All the success piled high

Still won’t fill the cracks inside my chest

Faster, faster, stronger still

My wishes turn to blades

In ideals worn thin and cut away

What do I believe?

I keep shaking, always

Inside this never-ending dream

Deep inside the fog

A faint light comes into view

Is it salvation

Or just another illusion?

Deeper, deeper, further in

I keep questioning myself

If this endless hunger is

What keeps me moving on

Then fear and pain alike

I’ll hold them close and go

How far do I have to go

Before this ends?

Even so

I’m still running
