David Near - Paradigm Shift Lyrics

No, I could never be the thing you long to see
I function different motherf*cker, 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

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

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

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

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

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
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
