Picture Perfect

from In The Black by The Lunar Laugh

lyrics

What’s a life in black and white
Adrift in the shadows stumbling
Reaching for the light

There’s something said for life and death
We watch every last column falling
While barely catching our breath

I don’t run with the in crowd
I’m just a passer-by
I wanna have you by my side to show me
Show me how to survive
I’m not picture perfect
But i give it a try
It’s either death or glory before me, show me
Show me how to survive

So what’s a friend who follows a trend
Like chasing the moon near wild heaven
When can I see you again
(when can I see you again)

There’s something sad for life and death
Dropping in when you least expect it
To take the final breath

I’m not one of the bon ton
I’m just another guy
I wanna have you by my side to show me
Show me how to survive

I’ve been running from failure
Like silhouettes in the night
I need another set of hands to push me
I won’t put up a fight

Still not picture perfect
But I still give it a try
It’s either death or glory before me, show me
Show me how to survive

How to survive
How to survive
How to survive
How to survive
