Act I: Scene Two: II. Strange Déjà Vu

Nicholas:

(Present)

Subconscious strange sensation

Unconscious relaxation

What a pleasant nightmare

And I can't wait to get there again

Every time I close my eyes

There's another vivid surprise

Another whole life waiting

Chapters unfinished, fading

(Past)

Closer now - slowly coming into view

I've arrived - blinding sunshine beaming through

There's a house I'm drawn to

Familiar settings nothing new

And there's a pathway leading there

With a haunting chill in the air

There's a room at the top of the stairs

Every night I'm drawn up there

And there's a girl in the mirror

Her face is getting clearer

Young child won't you tell me why I'm here?

In her eyes - I sense a story never told

Behind the disguise - there's something tearing

At her soul

Victoria:

(Past)

Tonight I've been searching for it

A feeling that's deep inside me

Tonight I've been searching for

The one that nobody knows

Trying to break free

I just can't help myself

I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head

Tears my heart into two

I'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew

Nicholas:

(Present)

Back on my feet again

Eyes open to the real world

Metropolis surrounds me

The mirror's shattered the girl

Why is this other life

Haunting me every day

I'd break through to the other side

If only I'd find the way

Something's awfully familiar

Feeling's so hard to shake

Could I have lived in that other world

It's a link that I'm destined to make

Still searching but I don't know what for

The missing key to unlock my mind's door

Today I am searching for it

A feeling that won't go away

Today I am searching for

The one that I only know

Trying to break free

I just can't help myself

I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head

Tears my soul into two

I'm not the one I thought I always knew

I just can't help myself

I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head

Uncanny, strange déjà vu

But I don't mind - I hope to find the truth
