Description

B-side that was rarely played live. It was played at least twice before Origin of Symmetry was released though.

Slighty similar arpeggios to Stockholm Syndrome and Bliss.

Lyrics

Cast your ideals onto me 
And I'll show you what you really need 
Give too much attention
And I'll reflect your imperfections

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god
Of a shrinking universe

Purposeless survival 
Now there's nothing left to die for 
So don't struggle to recognise 
Now the cruelly heart-felt suicide

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god
Of a shrinking universe

Aaah...

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god 
Of a shrinking universe

Early live version

Cast your ideals onto me 
And I'll show you what you really need 
Give me some attention
And I'll hide your imperfections

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god
Of a shrinking universe

Purposeless survival 
Now there's nothing left to die for 
So don't struggle to recognise 
Another heart-felt, coldly suicide

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god
Of a shrinking universe

Aaah...

Can't you see it's over 
Because you're the god 
Of a shrinking universe
