Contrast Lyrics & Chords By The Parallel Project

Like a contrast that you keep inside
Like a fire burning out the night
Take the lead; Take a moment to pray
Take the time; Take a moment to say
I can't believe in all the things I see
I can't believe -- this can't be happening to me

For simplified and multiplied
Directions driving
Desperate out of sight
Tomorrow just might be
The place and time for you to see

Corrosion amplifies your mind
Connections to be finalized
After a new day is dawning
Can't you hear the sirens calling?

Well lately I've been wondering
If this is all there is
Have I been here today?
Was I here yesterday?

Well it's only when collusions form
And obliterate your mind
You know they've gone away
Well I guess I'm glad they're gone today

Dreams in which you help yourself
As you rise above your life
Slowly die away
Well I didn't want them anyway

Now my conscience finally answers me
It tells me to concede
So I slide away as the voices die away

She's the enterprise
That we've given to apply
Just assume mortality's
Another road to destiny

Perfect sound as the rain comes boiling down
Now eroding and corroding the ground
But there's no returning; no one's hurting
No release and no deserting

Day or night this black or white
This dark and light an endless blight
Give me something to use
Give me something to lose

All your aspirations
Can't resume our simulations, well
Angel pray my peers away
And take me to some haven far away

Well lately I've been wondering
If this is all there is
Have I been here today?
Was I here yesterday?

Well it's only when collusions form
And obliterate your mind
You know they've gone away
Well I guess I'm glad they're gone today

Dreams in which you help yourself
As you rise above your life
Slowly die away
Well I didn't want them anyway

Now my conscience finally answers me
It tells me to concede
So I slide away as the voices die away

Now the ruin that you've waited for
Comes crashing to the ground
As you try to pray; As you awake

And the world that you can't explain
Like the light of that first day
Slowly dives away what you're trying to say
