Paradigm Shift Lyrics by David Near

Seeing Red

2019

[Verse 1]
No, I could never be the thing you long to see!
I function different motherfucker, and wrong's not wrong to me
Abandon cleanliness as my reputation's tarnished
Long live the recklessness, long live the one discarded!
In the paradise of my own mind, it's only righteousness that you won't find, Shift the paradigm, in the meantime. There's a burgeoning sickness from the inside
[Chorus]
Just rip it out, become the animal again
Without a doubt, without hesitation
You'll live it down, you'll shove it in the coffin
Without a sound, without a single caution
[Verse 2]
Gone! This isn't how it should be, this isn't how it should be!
Wrong! Your right is wrong in my eyes, and there's a fire beneath me, I'm bringing the darkness out, I'm burning the towers down
I'm killing the ones who disturbed what once was and turned a smile to a frown. In the paradise of my own mind, it's only Innocence that you won't find, Shift the paradigm, in the meantime. There's a burgeoning sickness from the inside
[Chorus]
Just rip it out, become the animal again
Without a doubt, without hesitation
You'll live it down, you'll shove it in the coffin
Without a sound, without a single caution
[Bridge]
There is a virus, to change the way we think, it lives inside us, it brings us to the brink
It makes us colder, it makes us long for pain. It makes us feel good... til we don't feel a thing!
[Chorus]
Just rip it out, become the animal again
Without a doubt, without hesitation
You'll live it down, you'll shove it in the coffin
Without a sound, without a single caution
