[Verse 1]

When you say something

But you really mean something else

When you're starin' in the mirror

And don't recognize yourself

[Pre-Chorus]

We are oxymorons

To be human is a paradox

Your split personality

And every contradicting thought

[Chorus]

You can't see the irony, but I can

You can't tell there's parallels, but I can

[Verse 2]

Well, you're damned if you don't

And you're damned if you do

My whole life feels like a catch 22

Caught in a hard place, it's so hard to see

I'm clearly confused, life's so bittersweet

[Pre-Chorus]

We are oxymorons

To be human is a paradox

Your split personality

In evеry contradicting thought

[Chorus]

You can't see the irony, but I can

You can't tell therе's parallels, but I can

[Verse 3]

Your empty hollow head

Is still filled up full with rubbish

Well, the wisest man once said

"I know one thing, I know nothing"

[Bridge]

But we all need to risk something

Cause if you risk nothing at all

Then you have to run the risk of never getting what you want

[Chorus]

Well you can't see the irony, but I can

You can't tell there's parallels, but I can

You can't see the irony, but I can

You can't tell there's parallels, but I can
