The Departure of Perfection (Left Eye Open, Right Eye
Closed)
Love, you know that my have closed again,
So stop trying to pull my gaze to yours. (I'm dreaming of you now)
If you are ideal then what is left to come to know?
Just understand this one thing of me:
When I close my eyes I imagine a lesser you,
One that is capable of mistakes and lies (to make things interesting),
But you, my darling, are an angel.
All angels must someday fly back to heaven,
Leaving the less than perfect to rot in graves (made of the tears we cry in secret).
Stay by my side and I'll turn you into a little      ,
You can tempt me and I'll give in again and again.

Where are you? (i've finally opened my eyes),
Ah, gone to heaven before I had a chance to say goodbye (and make you fall.)
