Contradictions

If I was to be shot, point blank 1000 times
It merely scratches the surface of my inner paradigms
I sign peace treaties and then I start the fight
For Christmas I bought my epileptic brother a strobe light
I ignite the fuse after the explosion
Sociological starch, physically stained, mental corrosion
The erosion of thoughts, implosion of rejection
Paranoid of needles so I opt for an injection
I’m scared of the dark, so I made myself blind
Took 3 seconds to crack the maze in my mind
I’m a slug and lazy, so I run everywhere
I broke my spine to justify using a wheelchair
If I was to be shot, point blank 1000 times in the head
It merely scratch nothing, obviously id be dead
I punch people who smile and laugh at people who cry
Congratulate death, discourage birth and teach fish to fly
Win the pulzer prize for writing just 7 words
“My psyche fly’s higher then wingless birds”
God himself could strike me with a lightning bolt
He’s perfect so id tell him it’s all his fault
Drop cigarettes into 3rd world countries, in-fact
I counteract every attack with a counter attack to strike back
Eat a snack pack just to break the classification of meals
Talking to a burn's victim, asking him how he feels
I scream contradictions, yell rebellion and whisper hope
I speak positively and voluntarily begin to choke
Good things come in small packages, bigger is better
Opposites attack, birds of a feather flock together
The weather is calm so I decide to stay inside
I wait until I’m found before I decide to hide
I’m that guy who will throw the first stone
I’ll sit on the phone and converse with the dial tone
Our whole existence is a excuse to contradict
But contradicting that doesn’t work, now does it?
I can live my Rebellion through words and thought
But ironic fantasies and dreams cant be bought
My cruel examples are dismissed as an ignored lesion
But bigger hypocrisy is accepted by everyone without question
This blind savage bliss will last to the very end
But by judging my thoughts, who’s the one’s being contradictive then?

This is a very intelligent and enjoyable read. It's just, the rhythm seemed inconsistant, though god knows I'm no expert.
an example, if you will.

If I were to be shot at point blank range 1000 times
It would merely scratch the surface of my inner paradigms
I sign peace treaties and then I start the fight
For Christmas, bought my epileptic brother a strobe light



Just a suggestion, of course.
