Perfect
[NORA]
Right before I look into the mirror
I hold my breath
Anxiety whispers, and I hear her
Then second guess
And it's not safe and sound in my mind
'Cause I find that there are monsters there
So I bury myself in the ground
And I try to pretend that I'm not scared
And everything's perfect
Everything's perfect

[GIA]
I catch my reflection in the window
Don't recognize
Staring back's a stranger that I don't know
With dagger'd eyes
And it's not safe and sound in my mind
'Cause I find that it's green all over
So I bury myself in the ground
Like the grass or the moss on boulders
But everything's perfect
Everything's perfect

[MALAYA]
My love is too deep
It flows like a river
No wonder I'm drowning
There's nothing to give her
[NORA, MALAYA, and GIA] [ALL]
Never has a night been more enlightening
Verona sky
Often times, I find my feelings frightening
But still, I try
And it's not safe and sound in my mind (My love is too deep, it flows like a river) (And it's not safe and sound in my mind)
'Cause I find that there's monsters there (No wonder I'm drowning) (Cause I find that it's green all over)
So I bury myself in the ground. (There's nothing to give her.*) (So I bury myself in the ground.)
Right before I look into the mirror
I hold my breath
I hold my breath
I hold my breath
I hold my breath
I hold my breath
I hold my breath
I hold my breath
I hold my breath
I hold my breath

[IMANI]
I hold my breath
