Second Life Syndrome

[Lyrics to «Second Life Syndrome»]

[Part One – From Hand to Mouth (0:00-5:55)]

[Instrumental Intro (0:00-2:43)]

[Verse 1]

From day to day... from hand to mouth

We’re turning around... vicious ritual

Getting used to it all... falling down again

We’re waiting for... the decrees of providence

[Verse 2]

I don’t want to waste... any more of my life

Live from day to day... live from hand to mouth

Facing the light... I brush aside your plans

I’m going to have... it all my own way

[Chorus]

And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall

Couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore

Without your help I finally started to live my own life

I just want you to know this time

I just want you to know this time

[Instrumental Break]

And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall

Couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore

Without your help I finally started to live my own life

I just want you to know this time

Crawl!

[Instrumental Break]

[Part Two – Secret Exhibition (5:56-9:33)]

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]

I just want to feel, your sigh on my neck

Want to feel your breath, feel your need to stay

You don’t know my name, don’t know my face

Only thoughts I share, in my secret place

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness

I’ve ground to a halt, there’s no turning back

You know there are things, I just can’t forget

You’ve helped me so much, to learn to be detached

[Chorus]

But when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall

Couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore

Without that help I finally started to live my own life

And I know I don’t need you now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness

Life is much too short, to be whiled away with tears

Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness

I erase you now... I don’t need you now

I erase you now... with all of my past

[Part Three – Vicious Ritual (9:34-15:40)]

(Turning around)

[Build-Up (10:06-11:02)]

(Day after day... day after day...)

(Day after day... day after day...)

[Instrumental Outro]
