Number One Son – Contrasts lyrics

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.

Chorus

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!

Chorus

But your feelings will define what you are!
Because your feeling will define what you are!

Chorus

Say what you want you do:
Now I don’t share your view.
No, I don’t see things quite like you do.
