Second Life Syndrome

Part One - From hand to mouth

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
