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
