I Die In Degrees

I'd follow endlessly to live the life I've seen
Now every passing moment I die but one degree

Shall I relinquish my integrity?
Thereby ensuring that I'll remain unclean

Until my days filled with not untrust and fear
I'll not make one vow to which I won't adhere

I didn't want it this way but I've never wanted to stay
My life take not for granted yet nothing's changed in me
The search for true perfection will lead me endlessly
