Lyrics

I've walked to the ends of the earth
And glanced into the eyes of those
Who were going the opposite way
They failed to bridge the gap
First contact was a threat
And you could taste the surging unrest
Who wrote the law that opposites attract?
Who could be so naive?
Everyone trusts no-one
Looking out for number one
Ours is a primed time
The finite thrill of the loathing -
A streak in our life bearing dreams
The connecting virus drives a volatile wedge
It strengthens to soothe the open wound
But ours is a primed time
Although I'm not exempt of blame
It strengthens to soothe the open wound
But ours is a primed time
Bonding? - do you think I want the upper hand?
Broken contracts, we sow infertile seeds
And reparation pales
