Ok, so I tried to jot down the lyrics. As usual, some parts are easy, others are nearly impossible. Here's what I have so far, anyone care to clear up some of the messier bits?
___________________________________________________
HELL, PARTS 1-3
So fragmented and obscure
It's your fantasy but I'm (bored?)
Ever knew just what it's for
It's your (stuff, man?/suffering?) – nothing more
But hey if you think it's magic
Don't bother me
I loved the colours that you fled
But your ______ is a lie
A (well's?) too shallow and too (dread? drink?)
It's too fragile, it will die
But hey if you think it's magic
Don't bother me
(solo)
How of all ____ world?
It's a (different?), but I won't give up
Squeeze ____ stifled ____ ???
and then my d____s you are (fucked?)
But hey if you think it's magic
(But hey if you think it's magic)
Don't let me change your mind
(Don't let me change your mind)
Don't let me make you worry
(Don't let me make you worry)
Keep going you're doing fine
___________________________________________________
AUGUST
I said August is all that I know
It's with me wherever I go
It's with me when I need a friend
It brings me good weather
It keeps me together
It picks me up when I'm down
Good evenings I love you I do
I share all my dinings with you
But I can't help from wondering why
You are so good to me
You do good things for me
You pick me up when I'm down
___________________________________________________
BARLEYCORN (LET IT COME / LET IT BE)
Forget me not – those eyes of blue
Was it real? I never had a clue
Quite pristine
So many sights unseen
Defenseless dumb and r____?
I didn't know what I was looking for
But she knew What I'd never known before
She seemed so settled and so confident
And I was lured by that scent
Yet I was ready when she looked at me
Let it come, let it be
Moonlit pale ripe barleyfields
Teenage pulse – deranged strange dreams
Oh I felt born anew
That nerve tattoo
She freed me and I (fell?/flowed?!?)
Without a (mask?) __ lost in greedy lips
And I knew she was innocent
She told me that she dreamed just like I did
When we ___ from that ____
__ head was open? (smiled down at me?)
Let it come, let it be
The deepest sense of wonder
The greatest mystery
Illusions ripped asunder
The greatest victory
(solo)
Starry night
Moon shine bright
Barleycorn
moves to ???
Starry night
moon shine brigt
______
in the barleycorn
Yes I was ready when she looked that way
I was going there anyway
To
she just r___d off the l___
The __ was up ___ smiled down on me
let it come, let it be
___________________________________________________
RATCATCHER
Blindly I have followed the poison tongue of your (soul?/song?)
Save me this impossible dream's gone on for far too long
This is heaven and hell
(Deeper than—?? / Demon dancing —-??)
Got us all enchanted
Under his spell
Ratcatcher, soul/sole collector
Ratcatcher, unfurl your spell
Ratcatcher, let me go
set me free from your your h___s
let me go let me out of this hell
(solo)
Blindly I have followed the poison tongue of your soul
Save me this impossible dream's gone on for far too long
This is heaven and hell
(Deeper than—?? / Demon dancing—-??)
Got us all enchanted
under his spell
It's not (c___) it's not fair/fate
___ the wreck of ____
It's the truth of suffering
That's (doing it still? / dooming us—?)
Ratcatcher
___________________________________________________
AFTERGLOW
So the wheel has turned again
and we're left here at the end
of something that was bigger than us all
The old guard has stepped down
A king passed down his crown
And left us tumbling in free fall
Nothing fills the void that we are facing
No one's gravity is as strong
And here we are spinning
Farther apart as we're clinging
To the memory's weight still shared
It's never just an end
But it's not easy to transcend
An entire lifetime and its weight
The memories will last
But the hole is just too vast
Truly too big to negate
A place is empty at the table
Unanswered questions pile up on the floor
And a formal alliance
Yields only a silence
That we break as we learn to crawl
(solo)
Smaller than we were
(respect?) is all in a blur
We need more strength to hold the fort
So be with us if you can
We'll lend a helping hand
We need all your kindness and support
The things that you taught us
About our place in the cosmos
It's time that we learned to walk
Some suggestions from me after listening to some bootleg versions:
HELL
It's your suffering
But your anthem/answer is a lie
A well's too shallow and too dry
And then my darlings you are fucked
BARLEYCORN
Defenseless, young(?) and free/real
She freed me and I flew
To have it all and
She just ripped? off the lid
RATCATCHER
Blindly I have followed the poison tongue of your soul
Demon dance within(?)
Thanks, lots for good stuff!
Tried to add some more. Might be very, very wrong…

I think Barleycorn is quite close to what I think Perfection should be, so I tried to fill the blanks in what you suggested, there's still parts I'm not sure or I can't understand.
BARLEYCORN (LET IT COME / LET IT BE)
Forget me not – those eyes of blue
Was it real ? I never had a clue
Quite pristine
So many sights unseen
Defenceless dumb and grim?
I didn't know what I was looking for
But she knew What I'd never known before
She seemed so settled and so confident
And I was lured by that scent
Yet I was ready when she looked at me
Let it come, let it be
Moonlit pale like barley fields
Teenage pulse – deranged strange dreams
Oh I felt born anew
That nerve tattoo
She freed me and I flew
Without a mask and lost in greedy lips
And I knew she was innocent
She told me that she dreamed just like I did
When we ran from that cliff
the head was open and smiled down at me
Let it come, let it be
The deepest sense of wonder
The greatest mystery
Illusions ripped asunder
The greatest victory
(solo)
Starry night
Moon shine bright
Barleycorn
Moves to ______
Starry night
Moon shine bright
______
In the barleycorn
Yes I was ready when she looked that way
I was going there anyway
To an eternal ______
She just read off the lips
The head was up and smiled down on me
Let it come, let it be
Defenceless, dumb and green? Free? Sonds like snah sings something starting with G, whilst bent starts with F
Without a mask and lost in greedy lips
And I knew she was innocent
–
We found the last and lost ingredients
And I knew she was heaven sent
?
Could it possibly be:
The deepest sense of wonder
The greatest mystery
Delusions ripped asunder
The greatest victory
