[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
