Paradigm

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 knowing your soul isn't save

(Not safe, not safe, not safe)

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

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 my 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

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

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

We stand like gods amongst weak men

Do we save them?

Is there interest?

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
