lyrics

Horizon growing dim, patience wearing thin

Constant mental torture, illness within

Self-deceit, self-defeat

Drive towards perfection, always incomplete



Hopes and dreams that are impossible

Aims and goals unachievable

Standards that are unattainable

Acts and thoughts so unreasonable



Impossible – Unachievable – Unattainable – Unreasonable



Self-blame, lack of self-worth

Feeling of self-blame, lack of self-worth



…A neurotic unwillingness to accept reality, continually implying disappointment, frustration and anger... A self-deceptive form of procrastination… The illusory pursuit of the unrealistic standard of perfection that leads to psychological rigidity and dogmatism – and, thus, to perpetual dissatisfaction and chronic anxiety…



Can’t deny you’re just living a lie

Such a shame, common sense has to die

How does it feel to serve a false ideal?

Drive towards perfection, so damn surreal



Hopes and dreams that are impossible

Aims and goals unachievable

Standards that are unattainable

Acts and thoughts so unreasonable



Impossible – Unachievable – Unattainable – Unreasonable
