Perfect From The Start

I was born a fortunate son
 Mother gave me all her fear and attention
 I worked to prove my worth to everyone
 Earned my degree in self-destruction
 There is little reward
 For all that glorified pain
 I got this soul search hunger
 You got this deep heart desire
 Though we try to deny
 We were perfect from the start
 Perfect from the start
 Perfect from the start
 I was torn from my little girl trust
 By dad who left me with nothing but silence
 I've looked to drink and sex ever since
 To find reprieve from this life sentence
 There is no hiding
 From the world inside
 I got this soul search hunger
 You got this deep heart desire
 Though we try to deny
 We were perfect from the start
 Perfect from the start
 Perfect from the start
 There is no hiding
 From the world inside
 I got this soul search hunger
 You got this deep heart desire
 Though we try to deny
 We were perfect from the start
 Perfect from the start
 Perfect from the start
