Approval Of The Unknown

I find failure in successes

I try my best to let it go

But every time I get obsessive

Of little things I can’t control

Made my face right out of marble

Carve a Mona Lisa smile

Laugh enough but not too much so

I’m entertaining for a while

I want approval

Of the unknown

So I’m up all night

And I won’t lay down

Til I’ve gotten

It just right

A million tries

A million times

A million tries

A million times

I heard cold makes you think better

So I stand out in the snow

Pour my head right on the paper

Until I can’t feel my toes

I wanna meet my resolutions

And say more important things

So if I’m working towards a deadline

Then what’s a couple hours’ sleep

I want approval

Of the unknown

So I’m up all night

And I won’t lay down

Til I’ve gotten

It just right

A million tries

A million times

A million tries

A million times

I burned so many good ideas

Perfection is the end of me

I burned so many good ideas

Perfection is the end of me

Don’t call it failure call it fuel

They say it’s all mentality

But I burned so many good ideas

Like I’m my own worst enemy

I want approval

Of the unknown

So I’m up all night

And I won’t lay down

Til I’ve gotten

It just right

A million tries

A million times

A million tries

A million times
