about

This is a re-recording of a 2010 song ... an attempt to better realise the acoustic guitar riff, and deliver a vocal in a more confident way.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes we believe in truth
Sometimes we just read the news
Sometimes we ignore the difference
Sometimes we campaign for choice
Sometimes we demand a voice
Sometimes we prefer to follow

[Chorus]
Sweet contradiction only human
Sweet contradiction to be human

[Verse 2]
Sometimes we open eyes
Sometimes we prefer the lies
Sometimes we deny the difference
Sometimes we believe in love
Sometimes we have had enough
Sometimes we believe in leaving

[Repeat Chorus]
