Darkest light
Illuminate
All the things
I love to hate
Contradict
Myself and then
Do it all
Once again
Walking tall
Feeling small
Lonely but
Won't take that call
I contradict
Myself and then
Wonder why
I do it all again

[CHORUS]

You can't escape
Contradiction is the nature of the way we live
And you can't get out
Contradiction is the nature of the way we give
Well it's just a fact
Contradiction is the structure in which we live
And you can't get out
The contradiction

Flying higher
On the floor
More is less
And less is more
This is our
Reality
I am you
And you are me
Negative
So positively
Take my time
But do it suddenly
I contradict
Myself and then
Wonder why
I do it all again

[CHORUS]

Holding back
Pushing on
Staying put
Soon be gone
Telling lies
Truthfully
Our eyes are wide
But we don't see
Walking tall
Feeling small
Lonely but
Won't take that call
I contradict
Myself and then
Wonder why
I do it all again

[CHORUS]

Darkest light
Illuminate
All the things
I love to hate
Flying high
On the floor
More is less and less is more
