Perfect from the Start - Jeremy Toback

I was born a fortunate son
Mother gave me all the fear and attention
I work 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
But we try to deny we were perfect from the start
Perfect from the start

I was torn from my little girl trust
My dad who left me with nothing but silence
I look 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
But 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
But we try to deny we were perfect from the
I - got this soul search hunger
You - got this deep heart desire
But we try to deny we were perfect from the start
Perfect from the start
Perfect from the start
Perfect from the start
