about

Paradigm – Defense Mechanism

Single Black Male, 31 – Elliot Davis

Avoidant Personality Disorder. Employed. Lives with parents. Never been married. Not comfortable in most social situations. Feels unwelcomed. Takes criticism as a personal attack. Forcibly inserts himself into social situations resulting in irritability and agitation. Isolates for long periods of time. Trust issues. Found out his insurance covered these sessions, so he’s “taking advantage of them.”

lyrics

(:13) A ticking time bomb set to explode at instigation.
Prepared to level this world at your feet, and set it blazing…here is my situation:
First and foremost, I want you to know that I am innocent before our conversation…

(1:55) I’ve sustained one too many hits to my brain.
I’m guilty by association. I never meant to go so far.
But his words were such a provocation, and I came down hard.

(2:52) He said, “I bet you’re for Trump,” or something.
Then I saw red and remember nothing.
It’s all a blur to me. I can’t recall a Goddamn thing.
Wish I could tell you more. For years I waged a secret war.
It burned inside my head. Wrong or right, I’ve shit the bed.
No more fucks to give, I move on and I won’t forgive.

(3:54) It’s a lesson that I’ve learned, and it serves me well for now.
Revenge is a dish I like cold, bitter, and sour. How’s yours?
That subtle aftertaste of bile, makes me smile…

(4:41) The saddest thing, is that you gave it up instead.
There’s no cure for stupidity.

(5:33) Such a crying shame as you sort the wreckage.
Just a bit surprised that you would leave it.
