Gossip [Orchestral Version]

by Paul Tristram / June 30th, 2024

From ‘Criticism’ up to ‘Castigation’
in a spl/it second…
I’ve come to Harangue
your ‘Confidence’ and ‘Light’.
“… ‘Unassailable’
and ‘Balanced’… how dare you!”
‘Psychological Projection’
is for the bro/k/en and weak
… the match-striker is screaming
“FIIIIIRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!”
When the ‘Arrogant’
and ‘Boastful’ are STALKING…
‘Pointing Condemning Fingers’
… you just know, that in the
Direction of their Narcissistic
Rage… there is something ‘Special’.
