8 Out Of 10

8 Out Of 10

I'm an 8, But I long to be a 10
The level above my head, My head bangs the surface.
Stuck, Out of focus, lacking sense..
I hate settling for average, average is not me
I want to be what you can't be, perfect.

I want to word everything perfect,
Want my lines to shine, Shine till you're blind
An 8, How in the world can my mind accept it
When I know I can always be better, But it doesn't show
and I long so hard for it to show

Average guy wanting more then what he is.

An 8 wanting to be a straight 10, the complete deal
Complete package, too hot too touch, a straight flame
A flame that will not extinguish, no part of departure.

Needle in the haystack, Put the needle in your mouth
I will ignore the constant beating in my mind
Just let it beat all night, beat my mind silly..

Beat the pen out of my hand, my eyes squeeze shut
The paper represents a decade of frustration

It's frustrating when you do what you do
and you know you can do better, I'm an 8 out of 10

Scratching at the surface, looking for the door
Curse me with being average, just open the door..
