The Contrast Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Take Me Apart

Lyricist:David James Reid

Take me apart
Find out how I work
Unscrew my head
I need to know

Do I run like clockwork?
Did I screw up the gears and chains?
And where is the heart?

Take me apart
Tell me what I am
Take me apart
Tell me what I am

Take me apart
Tell me what I feel
Rim or full skin
Tell if I need it
I need to see

If I am electric
How the hell do I stay charged?
I'm losing control

Take me apart
Tell me what I am
Take me apart
Tell me what I am

I've got a distant feeling for a long time
Every time I speak, I find I never rhyme
Can I be deleted like a warning sign?

Take me apart
Tell me what I am
Take me apart
It's kind of free of scam
And won't you read?

If I'm made of paper
Can you copy me with a laser
Like a piece of paper?

Take me apart
Tell me what I am
Take me apart
Tell me what I am

Tell me what I am
Tell me what I am


2.Good Luck Charms

Lyricist:David James Reid

I'm standing here
Explaining love out through the blue stream
Fine and full into these trances
And I wish you were here to see this happening
Your looks are good

But what do you remember?
Swinging out for all the dawning and adventure
Running backwards through the rewind then it starts
All the burning pictures of the dam is swinging reverse
Squinted good luck charms and fast cars

And where are you?
You had them, the beautiful devil
You've gotta dream but you can't find it
And your looks are fine

But what do you remember?
Swinging out for all the dawning and adventure
Running backwards through the rewind then it starts
All the burning pictures of the dam is swinging reverse
Squinted good luck charms and fast cars

What do you remember?
Swinging out for all the dawning and adventure
Running backwards through the rewind then it starts
All the burning pictures of the dam is swinging reverse
Squinted good luck charms and fast cars

Swinging out for all the dawning and adventure
Running backwards through the rewind then it starts
All the burning pictures of the dam is swinging reverse
Squinted good luck charms and fast
Squinted good luck charms and fast
Squinted good luck charms and fast cars


3.Better Than They Seem

Lyricist:David James Reid

Someone tapped the uncertainty
They said they know where I live
I was feeling fast and shaky
They're excited to forgive

I don't have a problem
I don't have a problem
Things are getting better than they seem
(Things are getting better than they seem)

I looked on in a burning car
My head wet, saved in a smoke glass jar
If I ever make the bar
I know I won't start to scar

I don't have a problem
I don't have a problem
Things are getting better than they seem
(Things are getting better than they seem)

Over by the monuments
Outside the desert track
I better be tied behind this
But I know, we can't go back

The sun is smashing and this would mean
This is not some horror movie

I don't have a problem
I don't have a problem
Things are getting better than they seem

I don't have a problem
I don't have a problem
Things are getting better than they seem
(Things are getting better than they seem)

Things are getting better
(I hope things are better than they seem)
Things are getting better
(I hope things are better than they seem)

Things are getting better
(I hope things are better than they seem)
Things are getting better
(I hope things are better than they seem)

Things are getting better
(I hope things are better than they seem)
Things are getting better
(I hope things are better than they seem)

Things are getting better
(I hope things are better than they seem)
Things are getting better


4.God Of Malfunction

Lyricist:David James Reid

The God of malfunction
The God of malfunction
Stopping me from making things right

The God of malfunction
Hits me in all the imagined ways
I cannot function
I can't hit back if the
The God of malfunction
Is always in the way

The God of malfunction
Running with the mess
No, he's never as what he looks like
Could even be the President

The God of malfunction's
Always great
Don't take some action
The God of malfunction
Is coming down the telephone line

The God of malfunction
He is a generous man
We'll all be the same way
If we ever forget

The God of malfunction
Fluffed in a blind
He said it's deliberate
It's a sitting out through the tide
Is coming down the telephone line

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh


5.Coming Back To Life

Lyricist:David James Reid

Coming back to life

My world in this blue suitcase
I know my name but I woke up with a red face
And I'm in the rat pace tonight

Spinning my life like a silver coin
Everything fits but you can't still feel joints
The radio saved my life tonight

We are strange, getting stranger
We won't change, we'll screw the danger
Coming back to life
Coming back to life
Coming back to life

We'll have such a crazy time
Standing way up, hike up the tiles
You are brighter than the sunny noon and distant car

I really hope this moment lasts
You stay safe but you always move so fast
And you always get screwed up and busted

We are strange, getting stranger
We won't change, we'll screw the danger
Coming back to life
Coming back to life
Coming back to life

Brighter eyes and burning in the tricky haze
We are turning faster and faster

We are strange, getting stranger
We won't change, we'll screw the danger
Coming back to life

We are strange, getting stranger
We won't change, we'll screw the danger
Coming back to life
Coming back to life
Coming back to life

Coming back to life
Coming back to life
Coming back to life
Coming back to life


6.False Admission

Lyricist:David James Reid

I could be round
I could be square
I could be blue
Or made out of air
It's a good question
You never ask out there

Where's the betrayal?
It's a false admission
Badly written fiction
A faulty mission
But I will turn it around

I could be mad
I could be dumb
What about you?
What you think I'm?
I can't believe
What you have said out there

What you think I'm?
It's a false admission
Badly written fiction
A faulty mission
But I will turn it around

The lights are bright
You were in the shadows cutting wires and tapes
I will not let go and you will never ever seem to be
I can't believe what you said

I can't believe
What you have said about

What you've become
It's a false admission
Badly written fiction
A faulty mission
But I will turn it around

I will turn it around
I will turn it around
I will turn it around
I will turn it around


7.I Am An Alien

Lyricist:David James Reid

Try to think back
Or please shut up
What were you doing
With that paper cup?

Didn't you know that I am an alien?
I am not like you
Didn't you know that I am an alien?
You didn't think it through

And everything is turning brown
We won't be the same
Didn't you know that I am an alien?

You must expect it
And now you're flat
You don't look too clever
And you're getting fat

Didn't you know that I am an alien?
I am not like you
Didn't you know that I am an alien?
You didn't think it through

And everything is turning brown
We won't be the same
Didn't you know that I am an alien?

I'm ready for anything, ready for you
I don't give a damn about what you do
We will never ever be the same

You can't see me
'Cause I'm not here
But I am an alien
Could you get it clearer?

Didn't you know that I am an alien?
I am not like you
Didn't you know that I am an alien?
You didn't think it through

And everything is turning brown
We won't be the same
Didn't you know that I am an alien?

Didn't you know that I am an alien?
I am not like you
Didn't you know that I am an alien?
You didn't think it through

And everything is turning brown
We won't be the same
Didn't you know that I am an alien?


8.She's A Disaster

Lyricist:David James Reid

She's the sun and she's the moon
I think she's gonna be here soon in person
She turned my whole world upside down
She isn't even human, I am certain

She's shining ultra violet light
Said she's right but I know
She's a disaster

Her words are charged with hidden games
Her makeup's going up in flames right now
Her dreams are in a plastic box
She's got some keys but there is no locks to open

She's shining ultra violet light
Said she's right but I know
She's a disaster

I will tell the truth at last
She's in my head from my distant past and future
She's better than I'll ever be
I don't know how to set her free as she doesn't feel well

She's shining ultra violet light
Said she's right but I know
She's a disaster

Slurring all her words again
She said she'd love to be here
She's a disaster

She's buying on the Central Park
Her hopes sometimes are new
She will remember

She's the sun and she's the moon
I think she's gonna be here soon in person

She's a disaster


9.Gone Forever

Lyricist:David James Reid

I lost my head but now I see
I was always out of my tree
And the outcome is no mystery
She has gone forever

I think she caught the midnight train
She's not gonna be 'round here again
That is such a goddamn thing
She has gone forever

What I said I can't take back
She spinnin' away on an unknown track
I can't make the sense I lack
She's gone forever

I saw her face in my red wine
Maybe that was a special sign
Better get my thoughts in line
Stop this drinkin'

What I said I can't take back
She spinnin' away on an unknown track
I can't make the sense I lack
She's gone forever

Should've seen the warning sign
What the hell was I thinkin'?
Maybe she knew me too well
To see me out of seekin'

I lost my head but now I see
I was always out of my tree
And the outcome is no mystery
She has gone forever

What I said I can't take back
She spinnin' away on an unknown track
I can't make the sense I lack
She's gone forever

I can't make the sense I lack
She's gone forever
I can't make the sense I lack
She's gone forever
I can't make the sense I lack
