Description
B-side that was rarely played live. It was played at least three times before Origin of Symmetry was released though: 11th October 2000 at Drum Logos, Fukuoka, Japan, 12th October 2000 at Bayside Jenny, Osaka, Japan and 20th October 2000 at Melbourne Palace, Australia.
Slightly 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
