Lyrics

Perfect Crime

In the mind's eye we commit the perfect crime

We are drawing nearer, we're only one step away

When we visualize the destruction from inside

We tear ourselves apart and we are to blame

Too far and never near, the ending will appear

To pose another question of what we hold dear

Our sanity reveals what is false and what is real

The grays that seem to haunt us, this unforgiving hell

We think we've fooled all of mankind

We have created the perfect crime

The answers intertwined, we often cross the line

We make our own reality and think life is fine

Life through a clouded lens, our judgments cloaked in sin

We fall from the highest point just to get up again

We think we've fooled all of mankind

We have created the perfect crime, the perfect crime

We think we've fooled all of mankind

We have created the perfect crime

We think we've fooled all

We have created the perfect crime

The perfect crime

The perfect crime
