Second Nature Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is this our first? Or second nature?
When's that Rapture? Will there be merch?
Where is Mother? She was a stunner, can we page her?
What mine eyes have seen, could really take the purse
Are we charged now? Or are we fakers?
Parade around or get in work? Or just desert?

[Chorus]
We will see you next time
There'll be water in the rain
Territories pay fines
All long day (Say it will be! Say it will be!)
All may not be just fine! (All long day!)
There is another fate away
To not be too late, un obfuscate

[Verse 2]
Is this our fault?
And are we just too damn used to it?
The cipher too elusive
That tale, it just won't stop
You could be vaguely on top
Strike the key, lay down the mop
As if endings ain't endings
And feet, they just won't drop
Ain't this real-time? And aren't we takers?
You want what's more and don't excuse
And just refuse
[Chorus 2]
We will see you next time (Is this mercy?)
They'll be water in the rain
Territories pay fines
All long day (Say it with me! Say it with me!)
All may not be just fine! (All long day!)
There is another fate away
To not be too late

[Outro]
We will see you next time
There'll be water in the rain
Territories pay fines
All long day (Say it with me! Say it with me!)
All may not be just fine! (All long day!)
There is another fate away
To not be too late, un obfuscate

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
