Perfection Flawed at Once

Laid out on this table is all your .d.e.s.i.r.e.d. needs.

Clear the holy s                        that leads to the pearly gates.

Or take the elevator d/o/w/n/s/t/a/i/r/s from the sea;

No after[death] rebates

((Mistakes .A.R.E. mistakes)).

Tumbling from the -b a r r e n- sky,

I see clouds above my
        feet.

Birds and planes all resting their w\i\n/g/s,

not minding my heart[beat].

The flavor of a -m o o n l e s s- night rests on my [s][t][u][d][d][e][r][i][n][g] lips.

No .e.x.c.e.p.t.i.o.n.s. or    e
