[Verse 1] At the top of the stairs is a locked room My secret chamber that no outsider views For entry is forbidden, prohibited Behind this door is my other self Not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise But my other self Immobile inert and sanguine My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath And pump ruby to the lip I stand before myself Not Jekyll nor Hyde Not sibling nor twin separated at birth I stand before myself unaccountable
[Chorus] I dreamt that I had feet of clay I dreamt I crossed the seven seas And when I woke not knowing I knew I led the double life
[Verse 2] All I ever needed is twice removed I spit my bile in an airless temper In this vacuum a vampire reversed This one who breathes life into me And even dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosome I stand before myself not another me Not doppelganger nor witless clone I stand before myself unrepentant
[Chorus] I dreamt of sin and aftermath I dreamt of centuries laid bare And when I woke not knowing I knew I led the double life
I dreamt of sin and aftermath I dreamt of centuries laid bare And when I woke not knowing I knew I led the double life
[Outro] All I ever needed is twice removed This one who breathes life into me Ohh, ohh, the double life I lead the double lifeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
