Fatal Flaw

I have never been held up so high

But I can see my house from here

Figured I could fall in line

But I'd only divide every hemisphere

Historically, I've repeated at the worst of times

I'll do the same this time next year

I didn't think I'd last this long

But I proved myself wrong out of spite, I fear

So I'll apologize in advance

To keep the blood from my hands

The pain was all but planned

Look at what you've done

Do you see how far you've come?

Romanticize the past for fucking once

Know your younger self would be so proud

But you're nothing like them now

As you cover and cut off parts of yourself

That ever felt, or made you once stand out

Pick all your fatal flaws apart

First step is being self aware

Self aware

Got so much love in my heart

But I don't know where to start

I was hoping it might be here

I'm running out of road

Believe me, man, I know

But when there's nowhere else to go

It feels like home

Look at what you've done

Do you see how far you've come?

Romanticize the past for fucking once

Know your younger self would be so proud

But you're nothing like them now

As you cover and cut off parts of yourself

That ever felt, or made you once stand out

The moon keeps the sun at arm's length

For she fears she would get burned

They have joint custody of earth

They just take turns

Another trip around the sun

Why does it feel like one too much?

Each year's another wound

Death by a thousand cuts

We know the earth is spinning

But we have never seen it spin

I like to think that you're still here in that same sense

Another trip around the sun

Why does it feel like one too much?

Each year's another wound

Death by a thousand cuts

Sit still and look at what you've done

Do you think you're too far gone?

Romanticize the past for fucking once

Know your younger self would chalk it all up to luck

Or my lack thereof

Bare the burden of my blood

And pray to God I've diluted it enough
