Oxymoron

Oliver Tree

Compositor: Oliver Tree Nickell / Dylan Wiggins / Ethan Snoreck

When you say something
But you really mean something else
When you’re staring in the mirror
And don’t recognize yourself

We are oxymorons
To be human is a paradox
Your split personality
And every contradicting thought

You can’t see the irony
But I can
You can’t tell there’s parallels
But I can

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

We are oxymorons
To be human is a paradox
Your split personality
And every contradicting thought

You can’t see the irony
But I can
You can’t tell there’s parallels
But I can

Your empty hollow head
Is still filled up full with rubbish
Well the wisest man once said
I know one thing, I know nothing

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

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
