Lyrics Contrasts - Number One Son

Contrasts

Because you are what you are!
Sprung from the start
Subconscious streaming to the nerve
Have these thought ever been so true?
They’d die for you
Are they real?
They can’t be but they’re oh, so self-assured
And have never been ignored by these sick philosophies
Varied and bound they serve to confound
How I perceive what you are to me now
So I don’t see things like you do
And I’m so sorry for my view
But I don’t get that meaning — I am not like you
I took some time to think this through
And found I’m not the same as you
I don’t share what you’re feeling
Broken by what you are!
A breed apart
Contrition raging like a war on the heart
Now you want what you can’t have
Can you let it go?
If you’ve ever been bored of opinions that are flawed
Find your own hypocrisies
Stand up you’ve found your moral high ground
On the value of expression you cut me down!
But your feelings will define what you are!
Because your feeling will define what you are!
Say what you want you do:
Now I don’t share your view
No, I don’t see things quite like you do
