I spend a lifetime curving out my fate   Things I like, things I hate   My very nature is to criticize   Then cut myself down to size      On the cusp of compromise   To living hell, I slipped and fell   I'm in the corner licking off my wound   Loves come and go, all too soon      Looking back upon my life as such   And the remedies, they cost too much   Such a frail and fragile place   This egg and shell upon my face      Fueled by desire   Wind adds to fire   Flame of the uninspired      On the cusp of compromise   To living hell, I slipped and fell   Such a frail and fragile place   This egg and shell upon my face      Fueled by desire   Wind adds to fire   Flame of the uninspired
