"Once Upon a Second Act" is SYSTEM SYN's finest and most complex record to date. The album takes the listener on an emotionally engaging journey, showcasing Clint Carney’s vocal and lyrical talents like never before. The songs of “Once Upon a Second Act” range from haunting and heartbreaking, to heavy-hitting club tracks, yet all retain the sound that is so uniquely SYSTEM SYN. This also marks the project’s first completely independent release. Mixed and mastered by Ted Phelps (Imperative Reaction).

I’m so sorry no one told you
I am not a man to follow
your heart demands too much
for it to beat beneath my shadow
so foolishly I’ve fallen
just a raindrop in this storm
my heart demands so much
it wants to beat but it is torn
between this never-ending winter
and the dreams of summers past
the fantasies of who we’d be
and all the names we cast into the sea
what did you find
how did we all fall so far behind
but I don’t mind
they say we’ll meet again some other time
poisoned with promise
we’re trying not to need
a reason to let go
hopelessly hollow
we’re trying not to breathe
for reasons I don’t know
what did you find
how did we all fall so far behind
no, I don’t mind
it seems I’m always running out of time
and it’s fine falling
till the ground returns
faster than we left it
chasing concrete solace
poisoned with promise
we’re trying not to need
a reason to let go
hopelessly hollow
we’re trying not to breathe
for reasons I don’t know
I don’t know
what did you find
how did we all fall so far behind
but I don’t mind
they say we’ll meet again some other time
