[Walk Straight North: Track Three] --------- lyrics by my friend @IAmTheRisingTide before he left Scratch, with some minor modifications by @Cathaven123 (just to lengthen one verse and the bridge) -------- Lyrics: Perfection is a second death Purging every human thought And I want it How I want it The cost of objectivity Is losing my humanity And I want to Oh, how I want to I'll give away every piece of me Just to feel a glimmer of holiness I'll sign the contract in my own blood If it gets me what I want The high ground My own life is a currency To sell an image of perfection And I want it How I want it You can break me if you please I’ll do anything to be interesting Please I want it Oh how I want it I'll give away every piece of me Just to feel a glimmer of holiness I'll sign the contract in my own blood If it gets me where I want to be I'll bleed myself to pay the debts I'll forget what it meant to love If it gets me what I want The high ground Emotionless, I fall Into the snowy floor But now that I can't feel I can't have any joy You told me I should smile And the pain would go away But I’ve forgotten how to feel a thing And the terror’s growing every day I gave away every piece of me Just to feel a glimmer of holiness I signed the contract in my own blood And it got me what I want But it killed me inside That's the price I paid For the high ground And it got me what I want But it killed me inside That's the price I paid For the high ground
