Paradigms
[Verse 1]
Every bully that had maimed you, bled you dry
And the blinkered say that boys will be boys
And they're just kids being sly
And they wonder why some die

[Verse 2]
Every image of perfection starts a goldmine
They gave you bulimia, those marketing masterminds
Happens all the time, all the time

[Chorus]
And it breaks you up
Over time
And it breaks you up
Over time

[Verse 3]
Every moment in this dark world, I'm terrified
Reaching for a light in a gauntlet of toxic paradigms
Sometimеs I wanna die, sometimes

[Verse 4]
Evеry headline, they betray you and the little guy
But what would you expect from oligarchs and paedophiles
Makes you wonder why you even try
[Chorus]
And it breaks you up
Over time
And it breaks you up
Over time
And it breaks you up
Breaks you up, breaks you up

[Bridge]
No one should feel like this
No one should feel like this
No one should feel like this

[Chorus]
And it breaks you up
Breaks you up, breaks you up
And it breaks you up
Over time
And it breaks you up
Over time
