Fatal flaw
Fatal flaw, exposure
Couldn't keep my composure
Dark thoughts and feelings
Broken doubled over
Fatal flaw

Fatal flaw in the mechanism
Spanner in the works
Something feels missing
Still the pages turn
Sure as day follows night
Storms leave things bright
I continue to discover
Put feelings down when I write
The faults I discovered
Were never under cover
On display and present
I'm no different to any other
Perhaps too expressive
Succumb to pains and pressures
I don't write so people can listen
But for my own inner message
It's been tough, felt removed
A toll on my general mood
Difficulties prove problematic
Hurt I don't know how to remove
A sign of the times, so grim
Where to end, where to begin
Telling this story in these pages
Death and loss start to sting
And we've been here before
Throughout history keeping score
Had to keep going onwards
Finding it difficult to endure
And I feel bored, of this mode
Feel like internally I'll corrode
Without the contact from the world
Fatal flaws, painfully exposed

Fatal Flaw, exposure
Fatal flaw, exposure,
Couldn't keep my composure
Couldn't keep my composure,
Dark thoughts and feelings
Dark thoughts and feelings,
Broken, doubled over
Broken, doubled over.

Fatal flaw in this procedure
A glitch in the frame
Wishing for temporary amnesia
Still the pages remain
Sure as day follows night
Storms leave things bright
I find expression in imagery
Put emotion into what I write
The faults laying suppressed
Given life, new breath
Understood with new depth
Given meanings I collect
Perhaps too expressive
I lose the real essence
I'm no different to any other
Found an internal message
It's been tough, felt lost
Toll taken, paid the cost
The turmoil rose steadily
Hurt I don't know how to stop
A sign of the times, so bleak
When to remove, when to speak
Telling this story, so painful
Broken lives out of reach
In this endless transition
Stuck between painful positions
Finding it a challenge to tolerate
Uncertainty and indecision
And I feel tired of this mode
Feel like internally I'll corrode
Without the energies I need
Fatal flaws, painfully exposed

Couldn't keep my composure
Couldn't keep my composure,
Dark thoughts and feelings
Dark thoughts and feelings,
Broken, doubled over
Broken, doubled over.
