Fatal Flaws

We go after stuff just to make us feel whole It’s our therapeutic way to gain some control It’s a kiss on the neck, or that burn down our throat The stories we tell make us feel less remote We fuck up our lives just to give ourselves purpose Earn trophies and badges to feel less worthless Sleep with a few strangers and break a few laws Cause we’re already fucked, can’t you tell by our flaws?
