Paradigm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Buried my face within my hands The same hands that erased him I've lived in metaphors Why don't they question a thing? I've said it all before They follow religiously What if they truly knew how much I led them astray? Can hardly look at you knowin' your soul isn't safe [Pre-Chorus] (Not safe, not safe, not safe) [Chorus] I'm just a paradigm A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse When will they recognize they jeopardize morality? They're following no one they should idolize [Verse 2] Ooh, we stand like gods amongst weak men Could we save them? Is there interest? What is my voice to you? Do I give something you need? Grant me my solitude Or manifest like disease You want the painful truth? I never came here to serve And if you're still confused Look to my words for the proof [Chorus] I'm just a paradigm A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse When will they recognize they jeopardize morality? They're following no one they should idolize [Bridge] We're all just venturing aimless With hopes to transcend If there's a price on the answer you're just a number to them (That stupid motherfucker) Just a number to them [Post-Bridge] We stand like gods amongst weak men Do we save them? Is there interest? [Chorus] I'm just a paradigm A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse When will they recognize they jeopardize morality? They're following no one they should idolize
