[Intro – intimate, low spoken] We all have two versions living inside us. [Verse 1] Outside we show control, confidence, sharp irony Inside we tremble over things we don’t even admit to ourselves Outside we laugh loud, make jokes, seem invincible Inside we keep count of every word that ever hurt us Outside we say “I don’t give a fuck” Inside we die a little when someone really leaves Outside we build tall, well-decorated walls Inside we’re still children afraid of the dark [Pre-Chorus] Two worlds living in the same skin Two truths that never speak to each other [Chorus] We’re made of violent and beautiful contrasts Outside ice, inside slowly burning coals Outside “fuck the world” Inside “please don’t go” We’re made of violent and beautiful contrasts We’re made of violent and beautiful contrasts We’re made of violent… and… **beautiful contrasts** [Verse 2] Outside we choose silence to protect ourselves Inside we want to scream everything we feel Outside we seem distant, almost cold Inside we carry an ocean of emotions we never show Outside we pretend to be strong Inside we know exactly how fragile we are Outside we look for approval Inside we just want to be understood [Bridge – spoken, calm] Most people only see the surface… The one we’ve learned to show. [Final Chorus – big, emotional] We’re made of violent and beautiful contrasts Outside controlled, inside chaotic Outside cynical, inside hopeless romantics Outside rational, inside led by the heart We’re made of violent and beautiful contrasts We’re made of violent and beautiful contrasts And in the end… **beautiful contrasts.** [Outro – soft, reflective] We’re all made like this. Two worlds. One single soul.
