Defect
Defect:
[Spoken Verse 1]
I am the teardrop
Soaked into your shirt
Staining you
[Spoken Verse 2]
I attract, repel, attract
Romantic magnetic erratic
So frantic
[Spoken Verse 3]
I have no direction
Moral compass never north
I belong to my vices
And they leave me despising
The sight of love
[Spoken Verse 4]
I worship you
Only you
The flower blossomed in
the desolate expanse of my existence
[Spoken Verse 5]
I defy my creator
The darkness you built for me
Imprisoning me in this cage of despair
You built me in pieces
And discarded what didn't fit
[Sung Chorus 1]
I am the broken
I am the twisted
I am the drawing
That you won't erase
[Spoken Verse 6]
Why won't you erase me?
Let me be forgotten
To the sands of time
[Spoken Verse 7]
Take me out from your painting
Your illustrated beauty
Remove me from where I do not fit
I am the thing that should not be
Flush away my sanity
[Sung Chorus 2]
I am the broken
I am the twisted
I am the void
Consuming your time
I am the bullet
Shot through your heart
I am the damaged
Defective from start
God made a monster
And that monster is me!
THE MONSTER IS ME!

Author's Note
Defect is the result of many lit fuses gone off simultaneously. From my never-ending unrequited love, my sense of inadequacy as I watch my dreams slip away, my existing issues with my incapability to maintain a healthy relationship, my struggles with the way I see myself and how I feel people see me, how I feel I've always been viewed due to the uncontrollable circumstances and conditions that my existence gave to me.
