They provoke, bait, and twist emotions to guarantee an outburst, then step back to appear calm and innocent while their target looks unstable. Every defense becomes the crime, every attempt to protect the truth becomes “evidence” of blame. The same pattern appears in Pathological Societal Abuse, where powerholders spark division and then claim victimhood when challenged. Written by and based on Cindy Ann Pedersen’s own life after surviving over two decades married to a Dark Tetrad (DT*) abuser. DT* is composed of the traits of Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, and Sadism. 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… Cindy Ann Pedersen | Award-Winning Songwriter | Advocate & Creator of Survivor Music 🦋 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 the Survivor Music Sessions podcast series to learn how each song connects to real tactics from “The Pathological Abuse Playbook” and how they affect victims and survivors. #SurvivorMusic #CauseAndEffect #OfficialMusicVideo #Narcissist #Sociopath #Psychopath #Machiavellian #DarkTriad #DarkTetrad #PathologicalAbuse #CPTSD #Trauma #ToxicRelationship #Manipulation #Gaslighting #CoerciveControl #Awareness #Music
