Blood Rest on Blood

Stay inside, don't be startled by
This temporary action I take
Feel the light inside fading from my eyes
The thorns around your head will unravel
I; time after time, lie after lie
Failed to keep loneliness away from you
I; time after time, lie after lie
Left you with only my darkness
My darkness
Stay the night, don't be saddened by
This temporary action I take
Let your wounded heart grow fonder with time
Until the day all thoughts of me are lost to you
To you
I; time after time, lie after lie
Failed to keep loneliness away from you
I; time after time, lie after lie
Left you with only my darkness
My darkness

Circle of Knives
03:48
|
|||
|
I've lied, I stole it all from you; my craving hands took everything you've ever known
With every hour, you watched as all that's true was buried under mountains of my own design
Your frail life is in my circle of knives
You'll stay alive for no one else
I've warred, I fought them all for you; with every ounce of strength left in my spine
At every turn, you watched as all that's true was drowned inside the oceans that I made for you
Your frail life is in my circle of knives
You'll stay alive for no one else

Set Yourself Aside
03:56
|

|
When I see myself in your eyes tonight
I just want to go blind
Hear my voice in the sound of silence
I pray to God that you'll never know
Feel my lies in the fading skyline
I pray to God that you'll never know
When I turn our skies from blinding white to black
I just want a place to hide
Hear my voice in the sound of silence
I pray to God that you'll never know
Feel my lies in the fading skyline
I pray to God that you'll never know
When I lose sight of fragile alibis
I drown myself in the night

Levitation
04:26
|
|||
|
You're the snake coiled inside my head
You're the moon in the blazing night
You're the storm that rages in my blood
All because I asked you to
Levitate with me
Let them see that I've lost my way
Let them know you brought me to life, now
Levitate with me
I was lost at sea
Like the dying of stars
I was lost at sea
Like the end of all days
Levitate with me

Forgive Me Not
05:13
|
|||
|
With voices in my head, I stand out on the edges of the crowd
The sun comes up and I'm alone again, back to where my guilt has called my name
Don't you forgive me again for everything that never leaves my mind
Don't go and forgive me again (and again) for everything that never leaves me be
Now, every time I look at the sky, I lose sight of myself
Now, every time I look at the stars, I lose a part of myself
With voices in my mind, I stand along the edges of the world
The sun comes up and I'm alone again, back to where my failures call my name
Don't you forgive me again for everything that never leaves my mind
Don't go and forgive me again (and again) for everything that never leaves me be
Now, every time I look at the sky, I lose sight of myself
Now, every time I look at the stars, I lose a part of myself

The night is so alive, waiting for a sound or a sign
Left them all behind when you saw the truth in my eyes
Trying to stay alive in a world that's suicidal
Fighting for our lives while we stare into the light
I see a vision now; bridges burn, the sky is on fire
To the fading light, pray we'll have some more time
For the sun to rise, for the moon to light the stars
For the rain to fall, for the dawn to guide us home
All my life I've lived for you
(The night brings me back to you)
Every day I've spent for you
(The night brings me back to you)
All my life I've lived for you
(The night brings me back to you)
Every day I've spent for you
(The night brings me back to you)
All my life I've lived for you
Every day I've spent for you
All my life I've lived for you
I've lived for you

Dark Rooms
04:45
|
|||
|
Followed your car through streets unending
I heard your footsteps through the wall
Your scent ascends the stairs in silence
I feel you on the floor again and again
My love, tonight, I long for your eyes
Lost in your dark rooms
Gone forever, gone forevermore
Your flesh is alive in this maze of silence
I heard an echo of our past life
Opened the door, to fatal silence
You are nowhere to be found, again
My love, tonight, I long for your eyes
Lost in your dark rooms
Gone forever, gone forevermore
My love, tonight, I long for your eyes
Lost in your dark rooms
Gone forever, gone forevermore
My love, tonight, I long for your eyes
Lost in your dark rooms
Gone forever, gone forevermore
My love, tonight, I long for your eyes
Lost in your dark rooms
Gone forever, gone forevermore

This is the long goodbye
I stand before you now
All my crimes I lay before you
I ask you to save this life
This is the long goodbye
I stand before you now
All my crimes I lay before you
I ask you to save this life
This is the long goodbye
I stand before you now
All my crimes I lay before you
I ask you to save this life
Facing the ending in every single way
We face the ending in every single way
It's our faith that tears us apart
When we pray to be loved
It's our faith that tears us apart
When we pray to be loved
This is the long goodbye
I stand before you now
All my crimes I lay before you
I ask you to save this life
It's our faith that tears us apart
When we pray to be loved
It's our faith that tears us apart
When we pray to be loved
It's our faith that tears us apart
When we pray to be loved
It's our faith that tears us apart
When we pray to be loved
Facing the ending in every single way
We face the ending in every single way

It Will Come To You LP

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.
