Second Life Syndrome Lyrics - Singles - Riverside

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
