Second Life Syndrome

I can’t take anymore I can’t breathe I’m sick of this goddamn darkness, Sick of sadness and tears I throw it all up every single day Together with last night’s dinner I have lost myself completely I have convinced myself I am someone else For God’s sake, I need to be real I need touch I need… people? I have to turn my life around… But… I will still be myself, won’t I…?

I have spent all my previous life Waiting for something else to start Now I see that I have felt so numb To everything that passed me by Need to go land on my own two feet Need to change my life this way Need to free my mind of memories Watch them how they screw my brain The time that has come Convinced what I feel inside In darkness I float How far is the light? Inside – fearland Don’t want you to know Outside – fearless I do want you to watch Do you mind? Would you step aside Make way for me Can’t you see I’m dead set on doing this Enough of dreamless nights Enough of sleepless nights I’m the way I am Get out of my sight DO YOU MIND? You can put me in the lion’s cage You can take my soul Give a second name But I don’t intend to stop my fight And I’m not afraid NOT AFRAID

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 Part Three – Vicious Ritual (instrumental)

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Pull myself together – holding on Standing at the point of no return Keeping on the right side of my heart And the moment of truth is falling on me now I don’t care if what I want Is written in my eyes You can think of me what you feel I don’t really mind How about laughing at my habits At my needs I’m afraid I’ll stay unmoved Know I have to be Before you come and tell me who I am Before you try to make me someone else Step out of your line, out of line Step out of your line I don’t care if what I want Is written in my eyes You can think of me what you feel I don’t really mind How about spitting venom in my face again I’m afraid I’ll stay unmoved You just waste your breath Before you come and tell me who I am Before you try to make me someone else Step out of your line Step out of line Shall we dance my friend? Join in the shadow dance Join in the shadow dance Join in the shadow dance Join in the shadow dance I’m standing on the edge, about to fall In the middle of the point of no return Trying to forget those days I failed to act I’m not going to back out I’ve come too far I can almost see the light Feel its warmth And touch the moment I was waiting for so long I carried all before me Now the die is cast With open arms I’m standing out against my past

I’ve become resistant to myself To my weaknesses and pain I’ve become the one who wants to live and just feel alive again I’ve changed myself I’ve become addicted to being strong Started out my second life And the remnants of your tears and smiles Shift deleted from my mind Without knowing how it hurts… I feel safe Without knowing how it hurts… I feel safe Is this What I Really Wanted?
