Second Life Syndrome
[Part One – From Hand to Mouth (0:00-5:56)]
[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

[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
[Part Two – Secret Exhibition (5:57-9:34)]
[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

[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

[Verse 5]
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness
Life is much too short to be whiled away with tears
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness

[Outro]
I erase you now, I don’t need you now
I erase you now with all of my past
[Part Three – Vicious Ritual (9:35-15:40)]
[Build-Up]
Day after day
