🎯 CAUSE AND EFFECT When provocation, baiting and emotional twisting are used to manufacture reactions on purpose. The outburst becomes the trap, creating false blame in homes and in society as powerholders spark division and then claim victimhood. Cause and Effect ℗ Cindy Ann Pedersen 2025 🎵 Lyrics: You said they were circling, you said they had plans You whispered their schemes like they were taking our land Every word, a spark you knew would catch Winding me up ‘til I’d strike right back You’d light the fuse, then stand aside Watch me burn, and call it my fight Cause and effect — you set the scene Twist the frame, so I look mean Made my defense a crime, just to protect your name Cause and effect — your favorite game The crowd was your chorus, your story their song Flying monkeys in place before I knew what went wrong Your whispers spread faster than the truth could stand You turned neighbors to soldiers in your command You’d light the fuse, then step away Leave me in the smoke while you look okay Cause and effect — you set the scene Twist the frame, so I look mean Made my defense a crime, just to protect your name Cause and effect — your favorite game Your lies in the open, but you stand tall Say you’re the one who’s protecting us all But I see the match in your steady hand You wrote the ending before it began Cause and effect — you set the scene Twist the frame, so I look mean Made my defense a crime, just to protect your name Cause and effect — your favorite game Cause and effect… cause and effect… Stream “Cause and Effect” now: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5KG1KpXNscRiPkPTL7hjlf?si=7b1fcf9836b24a01 Apple: https://music.apple.com/gb/song/cause-and-effect/1836259890 🎧 Also available on most streaming platforms. 🎙️ Listen on We Resist Radio → https://weresistradio.com/cindy-ann-pedersen/ Creator of Survivor Music: Cindy Ann Pedersen | Award-Winning Songwriter Pathological Abuse Specialist | Advocate 🦋 Follow Cindy Ann Pedersen on BlueSky → https://bsky.app/profile/cindyannpedersen.com 🌐 More about Cindy Ann Pedersen → https://www.cindyannpedersen.com/ 💬 The Community tab on Cindy Ann Pedersen’s Official Artist Channel shares upcoming releases, reflections, and awareness posts. 📺 Explore Survivor Music playlists and follow Survivor Music podcast with raw, unfiltered talks that take you behind each Survivor Music song — exploring what inspired it, the tactics from The Pathological Playbook it exposes, and what victims and survivors endure in that season of Pathological Abuse.
