Mastered with Cloudbounce via CDBaby
Nothing's ever as amazing as it really feels
If this is perfect, then it must not be real
THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that! It's been over 20 weeks now, I don't think I can stop for a while...
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!

LYRICS
One day I'll be what I dream
Flawless, pure, fully redeemed
Life just cannot reach that goal
When put on a pedestal
Nothing's ever as amazing as it seems to feel
If this is perfect
Then it must not be real
We had no problems at all
Which means we had quite the fall
Seemed like things couldn't improve
Deep inside, I think we knew
Lost sight of what really matters in pursuit of the ideal
If this is perfect
Then it must not be real
Even when I get to where I wanted
What I want right now is always so far away
Pushed ahead because I feel taunted
By who I could be, by what I am on any day
Fantasize idyllic futures
With blind and foolish zeal
If this is perfect
Get rid of me and I'd be perfect
Then it must not be real
