Damn Me
03:47
|
|||
|
Illusion, delusions of grandeur
Confusion
Water under bridges burned
Tables turned, but nothing’s learned
Judgment unto me
Justice mockery
Damn me - burn from the inside out
Damn me - sowing the seeds of doubt
To taunt me to haunt me
My every waking hour
Misdirection, deflection
I gave you too much power
Judgment unto me
Justice mockery
Damn me - burn from the inside out
Damn me - sowing the seeds of doubt
What is it in me that you’re driven to destroy?
My heart, my soul, my mind, desire to enjoy…
Life… like you all do
Once again you've made me prove
Myself on the stand, again and again,
Judge and jury, the sound and fury
Signifying nothing
Damn me - burn from the inside out
Damn me - sowing the seeds of doubt
Damn me - burn from the inside out
Damn me - sowing the seeds of doubt

The Last Mistake
04:09
|
|||
|
Left myself open one more time
Fade into the shadows while you shine
Line after line, done dirty by design
This ends now, I’m taking back what’s mine
And I feel…
I give, you take
Forgive, forsake
I give, you take
The last mistake
I hear you calling once again
You say you'll be there as a friend
All I am to thee is what you can get from me
And I know just how this will end
And I feel...
I give, you take
Forgive, forsake
I give, you take
The last mistake
And I feel...
I give, you take
Forgive, forsake
I give, you take
The last mistake
You don’t care
How we feel
Watch us struggle
While you steal
I give, you take
Forgive, forsake
I give, you take
The last mistake

It's all over 'fore it starts
I am the crack upon your heart
I am the doubt that creeps at night
I am the foe you can't fight
Reborn in the cleansing fire
I am the vow you couldn't keep
I'm laying with you as you sleep
You cling to self-loathing and fear
At night I whisper in your ear
Reborn in the cleansing fire
Reborn in the cleansing fire

Remember Who You Are
05:46
|
|||
|
Blank stare
Broken heart sinking like stone
It's not fair
You pick up the pieces alone
Hear them taunt you and tell you you’re weak
Still they mock you and call you a freak
Self assured they push you around
Hold you down
You’ll make it someday
Just remember who you are
You don’t stand alone
We accept you as you are
Betrayed
They hate what they don’t understand
Charade
Bible and bullets in hand
You feel so weary from the endless fight
They're banning books and they're taking our rights
There’s no liberty justice for all
Not at all
But we’ll make it together
Just remember who you are
You don’t stand alone
We accept you as you are
Just remember who you are
You’re not in this fight on your own
We accept you as you are
We're stronger, we're stronger
We're stronger, stand together
Nobody controls me
Get your laws off my body
Just remember who you are
You don’t stand alone
We accept you as you are
Just remember who you are
You’re not in this fight on your own
We accept you as you are

New Normal
03:25
|
|||
|
Work more
Earn less
Pay more
Get less
Our leaders, they don’t care
It’s a permanent state of affairs
Two jobs won’t cover the rent
Another thousand year weather event
It is what it is, right?
It is what it is, right?
It is what it is, right?
It is what it is!
New normal
New normal
They rise
Ruthless
We fall
Feckless
We’ve always had our doubts
But this is what they’ve been warning about
How long's this been going on
On and on, it’s the same old con
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers
Likes and shares, hearts and cares
How did this come to be?
Collapse in entropy
We’ve surely lost our way
There’s nothing more to say
New normal
New normal
New normal
New normal

Anxiety Society
04:00
|
|||
|
Maintain this manic pace
Long for the perfect face
Inadequate we feel
But it was never real
Feel like we’ll lose our minds
Keep dancing for a dime
The masters gorge and feast
And we must feed the beast
Anxiety society
They'll find your fears and sell them back to you
Our jealousy a fallacy
They'll find your fears and sell them back to you
Anxiety society
Anxiety society
Pit of despair so deep
How will I ever sleep?
So weary, ragged run
Convince ourselves it's fun
Filtered illusions stare
The truth just can't compare
Perfection etched in glass
A test you'll never pass
Anxiety society
They'll find your fears and sell them back to you
Our jealousy a fallacy
They'll find your fears and sell them back to you
Anxiety society
Anxiety society
Anxiety society
They'll find your fears and sell them back to you
Our jealousy a fallacy
They'll find your fears and sell them back
To you, to you, to you
To you, to you, to you

Scar
05:16

These restless thoughts
A fading will
A thirst unquenched
Still unfilled
You tried so hard
Some can’t be saved
With best intent
Hell’s path is paved
You know that this will break your heart
You know that this will end in tears
The book was written ‘fore the start
But don’t give up, give in to fear
Don’t let the wound become a scar
Don’t let the wound become a scar
You tried so hard
Oh, oh, oh
Some get so lost
Dwell on the pain
They still repeat
The same refrain
But you go on
Still undeterred
And through it all
You kept your word
You know that this will break your heart
You know that this will end in tears
The book was written ‘fore the start
But don’t give up, give in to fear
Don’t let the wound become a scar
Don’t let the wound become a scar
You tried so hard
Don’t let the wound become a scar
You know that this will break your heart
Don’t let the wound become a scar
You know that this will end in tears
Don’t let the wound become a scar
You know that this will break your heart
Don’t let the wound become a scar
You fought so hard

At The End of All Things
05:57
|
|||
|
Cities burn
Conflagration
Steel and strife
Resignation
But we won’t fall
We stand true
Final curtain call
I still love you
You will never walk alone
I could never stand on my own
Hand in hand together stay, forever stay
Hand in hand on judgment day, judgment day
At the end of all things
Dead men rule
Stone eyes staring
Led by fools
Voices blaring
Walk through fire
Love stands true
Final trumpet sounds
I still love you
You will never walk alone
I could never stand on my own
Hand in hand together stay, forever stay
Hand in hand on judgment day, judgment day
At the end of all things
At the end of all things

The Blood is The Life
04:16
|
|||
|
In the heat of the day, like the dead I sleep
Wolves and bats the company I keep
Welcome to my house
Make a Devil’s deal like Faust
I stand on the edge of the night
Bleeding, feeding
The blood is the life
The blood is the life
Making haste, I shall cross the sea
Fresher prey, they shall suffer me
Children of the night
Serpent coiled to strike
I stand on the edge of the night
Bleeding, feeding
The blood is the life
The blood is the life
The blood is the life
Get on your knees and pray
I never pass your way
Fresher blood I seek
Preying on the weak
The blood is the life
The blood is the life
The blood is the life

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 39 fans who also own “Walk Through Fire”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
