The Worst of Us

I did it
Yeah, “it”
“That”
Whatever you want to call it
The unspeakable

      …

I broke the rule
The one rule 
The untouchable 
I just had to do it
It was more tempting than anything I’ve ever seen, tasted, or heard 
Because now I’ve gone and done it, it'll hurt everyone
You
Me
That guy over there
Everyone

      …

Why did I do it
I don’t even know why
Stuck in this eternal loop 
Of guilt
Of paranoia
And of course
Regret
Now I’m going to be questioning myself endlessly
Not just me though
Everyone

      …

What are they going to do to me
Beat me
Kill me
Take all I have
What else
All I want 
All I love
What else

      …

I did it 
And now
The world is (kind of) ending

      …

Although
If you actually think about it 
It wasn’t my fault
Thank God 
I knew there was something wrong with this whole mess
I mean
Just really think about it

      …

There’s no reason for you to blame me
What evidence do you have
Exactly
So
Reconsider my proposal 
Does it look good
Agreed 
Now it’s all on him
All the shame
The blame
Coupled with a bit of fame

      …

I’ll let you in on a secret 
It was me
The whole time
Yeah
I had the same reaction too
Priceless
Isn’t it
Now just think
I went from the villain 
Right to the top
A true hero
Yeah I know
A real good joke

Is this inspired by any real events? If so, what event(s)?

Even though the readers don’t know what you’re talking about, I feel like everyone can relate to this.

Yeah, kind of what Windsor said. The details are vague, but the feeling is universal. Maybe it's universal BECAUSE of its vagueness? I really don't know.

Did I Ever Tell You The Definition Of Insanity?

(This is a censored version of a quote from the game “Far Cry 3.” The main villain monologues this to you because... I don’t know. Because...
