lyrics

I am the dog barking at a shadow.
I am the ice weeping in the sun.
I am the ring you wear around your neck.
I am every instrument playing at once.

But when I am some kind of perfect me:
the deaf will hear; the blind will see;
the bell will ring but never swing;
when I am a perfect thing.

I am jewelry melted into bullets.
I am the home with no tables or chairs.
I am the king who rules over nothing.
I am the devil who wouldn’t ever dare.

But when I am some kind of perfect me:
the deaf will hear; the blind will see;
the bell will ring but never swing;
when I am a perfect thing.

I am the song that you can’t dance to.
I am the echo that never ends.
I am the key that can’t be copied.
I am the where without a when.

But when I am some kind of perfect me:
the deaf will hear; the blind will see;
the bell will ring but never swing;
when I am a perfect thing.
