Cdukes - Perfection

Culture's so caught up in perfect image
Instagram picture scroll, glossed and vintage
But I can't be perfect to begin with
I just need to be me, no pretending
"Me" is not perfect and I know that's ok
Looking in the mirror, see myself so fazed
But I see myself in different lens of grace
Perfection redirected, I've been saved
I'm hard on myself. Why?
Just to be perfect. Now I see
I know I shouldn't try
To be who I think I should be
Through it all I trust
There's beauty from the dust
I'm trying to live here in the now
But I am also looking forward to the
Better days, better days
Growing, searching, learning tryna
Find my way, find my way, yeah
I am not the Painter, I am just the canvas
I don't have the answers, but I know the Answer
When I am being me I can let go
Learning not to worry about control
I don't have to see what I should be, no
Gotta live in the now as I set goals
I'm hard on myself. Why?
Just to be perfect. Now I see
I know I shouldn't try
To be who I think I should be
Through it all I trust
There's beauty from the dust
I'm trying to live here in the now
But I am also looking forward to the
Better days, better days
Growing, searching, learning tryna
Find my way, find my way, yeah
I am not the Painter, I am just the canvas
I don't have the answers, but I know the Answer for the
Better days, better days
Growing, searching, learning tryna
Find my way, find my way, yeah
I am not the Painter, I am just the canvas
I don't have the answers, but I know the Answer
I have to trust that what's ahead
Is something I could never plan
And something I could never make happen
I know in all of the mistakes
And all the failures You give grace
And then You use it for good in my lacking
I know I shouldn't go ahead
And keep screwing up, but instead
I can be kind to myself when I'm slacking
I know that all of my mistakes
Will not determine future days
And You hold all my dreams and goals and passions
I'm hard on myself. Why?
Just to be perfect. Now I see
I know I shouldn't try
To be who I think I should be
Through it all I trust
There's beauty from the dust
I'm trying to live here in the now
But I am also looking forward to the
Better days, better days
Growing, searching, learning tryna
Find my way, find my way, yeah
I am not the Painter, I am just the canvas
I don't have the answers, but I know the Answer for the
Better days, better days
Growing, searching, learning tryna
Find my way, find my way, yeah
I am not the painter, I am just the canvas
I don't have the answers, but I know the Answer
Better days, better days
Find my way, find my way, yeah
Not the Painter, just the canvas
