Recess (Unreleased alternate version, Trident Studios, 1999) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Resuscitate
In my sleep
Awake to see
You're never here
And the losing yields
Another year
Facing hopes and fears

[Verse 2]
And the trains and planes
Are to blame
For tempting us
To refrain
And to cut the chord
And diss every word
Yeah, the truth's absurd

[Chorus]
And I wish
I could believe there was more
Hope suffocating
And you've kissed my life

[Verse 3]
Let the truth be known
Life just carries on
When you're dead and gone
When you're dead and gone
Life just carries on
Let the truth be known
[Chorus]
And I wish
I could believe there was more
Hope suffocating
And you've kissed my life

[Outro]
Hope suffocating
Hope suffocating
Hope suffocating
And you've kissed my life

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

This version of “Recess,” unique to “Origin of Muse,” is based on the “Different Take” version that probably predates the version released on the “Unintended” single and the Hullabaloo Soundtrack, since this version (without piano) was performed in September 1999 before the final studio version was recorded in October and performed in November. Notably, the first 2 verses are sung back to back instead of being separated by the chorus, and the 3rd verse is based on scrapped lyrics from the “Sunburn” demo. The piano is unique to this recording, as Bellamy played keys very rarely on the Showbiz tour and thus stuck to the guitar version for the final product probably for this reason.
