Scene Two: II. Strange Deja Vu
Subconscious strange sensation
Unconscious relaxation
What a pleasant nightmare
And I can't wait to get there again
Every time I close my eyes
There's another vivid surprise
Another whole life waiting
Chapters unfinished, fading
Closer now
Slowly coming into view
I've arrived
Blinding sunshine beaming through
There's a house I'm drawn to
Familiar settings, nothing new
And there's a pathway leading there
With a haunting chill in the air
There's a room at the top of the stairs
Every night I'm drawn up there
And there's a girl in the mirror
Her face is getting clearer
Young child, won't you tell me why I'm here?
In her eyes
I sense a story never told
Behind the disguise
There's something tearing at her soul
Tonight I've been searching for it
A feeling that's deep inside me
Tonight I've been searching for
The one that nobody knows
Trying to break free
I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my heart into two
I'm not the one, the sleeper thought he knew
Back on my feet again
Eyes open to the real world
Metropolis surrounds me
The mirror's shattered the girl
Why is this other life haunting me every day?
I'd break through to the other side if only I'd find the way
Something's awfully familiar
The feeling's so hard to shake
Could I have lived in that other world?
It's a link that I'm destined to make
Still searching but I don't know what for
The missing key to unlock my mind's door
Today I am searching for it
A feeling that won't go away
Today I am searching for
The one that I only know
Trying to break free
I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my soul into two
I'm not the one I thought I've always knew
I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Uncanny, strange deja vu
But I don't mind
I hope to find the truth
Unconscious relaxation
What a pleasant nightmare
And I can't wait to get there again
Every time I close my eyes
There's another vivid surprise
Another whole life waiting
Chapters unfinished, fading
Closer now
Slowly coming into view
I've arrived
Blinding sunshine beaming through
There's a house I'm drawn to
Familiar settings, nothing new
And there's a pathway leading there
With a haunting chill in the air
There's a room at the top of the stairs
Every night I'm drawn up there
And there's a girl in the mirror
Her face is getting clearer
Young child, won't you tell me why I'm here?
In her eyes

There's something tearing at her soul
Tonight I've been searching for it
A feeling that's deep inside me
Tonight I've been searching for
The one that nobody knows
Trying to break free
I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my heart into two

I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Uncanny, strange deja vu
But I don't mind
I hope to find the truth
