this secret life

Lyrics

i dreamed i was being kept alive, to bear the brunt of a family joke, about which no one spoke, to multiply and divide, this hideous thing, this human kind, with something else on his mind, i was going to bed, you were saying, "i do", then i lost my head, when i awoke, i was living this secret life, complete with a secret dog, and a secret wife, in another zone, address unknown, this secret life, this secret life, and i am chilled to be here, among these ghosts so heaven-bent, with hell to pay for rent, when i am holding you near, i'm not so sure this world is real, i'm not sure how i feel, and i was going to say, "not a whisper, dear", then i drifted away, come out, come out, wherever you are, you look so near, you seem so far, this scale's messed up, the angle's wrong, your day will come, meanwhile, the night is long,
