Opposites Attract

R.L
R.L
Can you hear me?

I'm asking questions that never get answered
Happily depressed
Shed a tear then have a fit of laughter
The mournful optimist
Mr. Oxymoron
Make the right move then I've got it all wrong
King contradiction
Real life fiction
Hate and affection
I stand in the balance
Half of me wants to quit
The other half craves a challenge
Walk the thin line between love and malice
Left hand dabs amphetamines
Whilst the right crumbles charris
Lost religion
Swigging sanctified water from the devil's chalice
Blessed with a curse
My worst move is to step with my best foot first
Tainted perfection
Reading from an unwritten verse
But when I think its better shits getting worse
Opposites attract like the sun and the moon
Or like my voice on the track when I speak out of tune

I'm feeling beautifully ugly
Uncomfortably content
Opposites attract
I'm feeling beautifully ugly
Uncomfortably content
Feeling free but I'm trapped (x2)

I emerge from a deadly silence
Half alert like a broken siren
Bewildered outbreaks a peaceful violence
You can see the love and hatred inside my iris
I'm at one with myself but I feel divided
It's the split personality that lives inside Piff
Make my own reality stuck on Shutter island
Thinking out of the box in solitary confinement
I'm a normal guy in this mental asylum
Latching up my own straight jacket
I work my fingers to the bone for a pay packet
Resent me
We moan that we've got nothing when we've got plenty
It's just human nature
Consumed by the paper
I could lose it all in the blink of an eye to a loyal traitor
So you'll get the (?) because I love to hate ya

I'm feeling beautifully ugly
Uncomfortably content
Opposites attract
I'm feeling beautifully ugly
Uncomfortably content
Feeling free but I'm trapped (x2)
