I saw the perfect sky fade to the grayest of the gray
I saw a perfect sand castle that the rain had washed away
I saw a perfect home in ashes scattered all around
I saw the perfect world before my own came tumbling down.
I heard the perfect song until the music began to fade
I heard a perfect speech until the wrong decision was made
I heard the perfect plan that humanity tore apart
I heard a perfect silence in the beating of my heart.
I touched a perfect picture but then the colors ran
I touched the perfect soul before I learned to understand
I touched a perfect life, the one I lived just yesterday
It was then I realized that nothing perfect ever stays.
