Paradigm

(:13) A ticking time bomb set to explode at instigation.
Prepared to level this world at your feet, and set it blazing…here is my situation:
First and foremost, I want you to know that I am innocent before our conversation…

(1:55) I’ve sustained one too many hits to my brain.
I’m guilty by association. I never meant to go so far.
But his words were such a provocation and I came down hard.

(2:52) He said, "I bet you’re for Trump," or something.
Then I saw red and remember nothing.
It’s all a blur to me. I can’t recall a Goddamn thing.
Wish I could tell you more. For years I waged a secret war.
It burned inside my head. Wrong or right, I’ve shit the bed.
No more fucks to give, I move on and I won’t forgive.

(3:54) It’s a lesson that I’ve learned, and it serves me well for now.
Revenge is a dish I like cold, bitter, and sour. How’s yours?
That subtle aftertaste of bile, makes me smile…

(4:41) The saddest thing, is that you gave it up instead.
There’s no cure for stupidity.

(5:33) Such a crying shame as you sort the wreckage.
Just a bit surprised that you would leave it.
