We Knew You When

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.

lyrics

stay afraid
all of you
as we dissolve into the night
and if we awake in the morning
it will be our final light
and I hear you sing
if we’re all going straight to hell
we might as well
we might as well live forever
follow you into the never

So far from home
your future found its end
you wanted us to say
we knew you when
but when dreams begin
you lose a little light
you let them in
till all you have is night
you finally found the end
we knew you when

stay awake
the sun will never rise
if you and I refuse to close our eyes
were we born to die dreaming
no smoke no fire no meaning
and I think you know
if we’re all going straight to hell
we might as well
we might as well live forever
pour our hearts into the never

So far from home
your future found its end
you wanted us to say
we knew you when
but when dreams begin
you lose a little light
you let them in
till all you have is night
you finally found the end
we knew you when

Stay afraid till the light surrounds you
Stay awake till your ego drowns you
Stay afraid till the light surrounds you
Stay awake till your ego drowns you

I don’t want to live in darkness anymore
you have no choice
I don’t want to be the enemy of light
you have no voice

So far from home
your future found its end
you wanted us to say
we knew you when
but when dreams begin
you lose a little light
you let them in
till all you have is night
you finally found the end
we knew you when
