Defective

Location

and we’re a boat full of broken people

because life is a cruel and dangerous game

and we didn’t realize that winning

meant breaking others open wider than ourselves

so excuse me if my mascara is smudged

i’ve taken my fair share of pain

because the less you love me

the more i hate myself

and that is a canyon you can't fill alone
