Lyrics: From unmarked graves their bones cry out; "Don't let what happened to us be forgotten" Indian hunters were paid for each scalp by the government. You have nothing to be proud of, my white friend. but, it's your world. it's your world. And, if ever there was a perfect crime... if ever there was a perfect crime...
I grew up in an empty room in a foster house full of strangers. every dream i had about going home never ever did come true. They lie broken like the promises that litter every street and every alley in your world. In your world. And if ever there was a perfect crime... if ever there was a perfect crime...
From ourselves we hide, from the darkness deep inside. You took away our pride. And you'll never know what you have done.
If ever there was a perfect crime... If ever there was a perfect crime... If ever there was a perfect crime... If ever there was a perfect crime...
if ever there was a perfect crime...
From unmarked graves their bones cry out; "Don't let what happened to us be forgotten"

Perfectionism is not necessarily about being ‘perfect’. Ask yourself this question… Is it ever really possible to be 100% ‘perfect’? So, if it’s not about being ‘perfect’, then what do we mean when talk about perfectionism? Although there’s no perfect definition, we understand perfectionism to involve three things: Firstly, the relentless striving for extremely high standards for yourself and/or others that are personally demanding. Secondly, judging your self-worth based largely on your ability to strive for and achieve such unrelenting standards. Thirdly, experiencing negative consequences of setting such demanding standards, yet continuing to go for them despite the huge cost to you.
