There is no man nor thing without his defect, and often they have two or three of them.

A cheap thing doesn't lack defect, nor an expensive thing quality.
Structural Defect
STRUCTURAL DEFECT
Once a strong bridge built with concrete and steel
Supporting the ways of those that travel
Standing so strong, no signs of dismay
Only to drop, no longer erect
Looking so firm, looking so tough
It couldn’t stay arise
There’s a structural defect
Being so coy, distracted by success
Caught off guard by actions of nature
Flaunting the muscles of which it was given
Only to fall, no strength is left
Tumble to the ground, destruction at hand
No chance for fulfillment
There’s a structural defect
Created for speed and power, it functions with ease
Yet sensitive and fragile, susceptive to failure
Years will pass, no signs of defeat
A structure of distress
One day, out of the blue
It came crashing down
There’s a structural defect

The source of every Crime, is some defect of the Understanding; or some error in Reasoning, or some sudden force of the Passions. Defect in the Understanding, is Ignorance; in Reasoning, Erroneous Opinion.

D7
Straight as an arrow
Defect defect
Not straight, not so straight
Reject reject
Towards anti-social
Solo solo
Standing on the stairs
Cold, cold morning
Ghostly image of fear
Mayday mayday
Gonna leave this region
Theyll take me with them
Demension seven

The man who suffers from a sense of sin is suffering from a particular kind of self-love. In all this vast universe the thing that appears to him of most importance is that he himself should be virtuous. It is a grave defect in certain forms of traditional religion that they have encouraged this particular kind of self-absorption.

Wreckless
You wanna break my pace stepped,
With a wreckless defect.
You wanna slip and slide...
As if we've never met!
You wanna break my pace stepped,
With a wreckless defect.
You wanna slip and slide...
And glide by high,
As if we've never met!
Don't try.
Don't try.
And I can't cope,
With your groping on my coattails.
Like you're a piece of my pie,
You wish to eat to satisfy...
A feeding kept from eyes.
Don't try.
Don't try.
And I can't cope,
With your groping on my coattails.
Like you're a piece of my pie,
You wish to eat and satisfy...
A feeding kept from eyes.
To greed as you hide!
Oh my,
Don't try!
You wanna break my pace stepped,
With a wreckless defect.
You wanna slip and slide...
As if we've never met!
You wanna break my pace stepped,
With a wreckless defect.
You wanna slip and slide...
And glide by high,
Pretending we've never met!
Oh my,
Don't try...
To fool me with your disguise.
Don't try.
Don't try.
And I can't cope,
With your groping on my coattails.
Like you're a piece of my pie,
You wish to eat to satisfy...
A feeding kept from eyes.
Oh my,
Don't try...
To fool me with your disguise.
As if,
I'm in need...
For a guide that hides.
Oh my,
Don't try.
Don't try.
Don't try.
Oh my,
Don't you do it!
Don't try.
Don't you do it!
Don't try.
Oh my,
Don't you do it!
Don't try.
