Errors in the Signals

Normal?
Run-of-the-mill?
Compos fucking mentis
Wholesome to a fault

Flawless?
Picture-perfect?
Lose the quirks
- escape a life-sentence
From disfigurements be spared

Errors in the signals
(off gender)
Errors in the signals
(down-and-outer)

Beside yourself
By the very shadow you cast
Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love
Called "respect"

Errors in the signals
(no aberrations)
Errors in the signals
(moral fail-safes)

Couldn't flee much quicker
From the adolescent (in you)
Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love
Called "respect"
