lyrics

//The final act is here, the ashes of our day/ it’s synchronized, it’s in display/ bewildered weariness- I’ve put to rest in vain/ for what it's worth, in bitterness abstractions take their course/

And in our last embrace, tomorrows passed away/
Before our time remains in chains/

I‘ve seen too strong to mitigate/ in spite of someone new/ forlorn and drowning by the shore/ when acquiesce was due/ it’s an ideal for life to breathe in someone else’s dream/ I’m tearing down the walls again/ though we could never see/

Your colours ease the pain/ before you’re drifting back/ austere and contradictive/ through this masquerade/ we were made the same as one/ inside a room inside my head
await for serpent’s son/

And via our last embrace, tomorrows passed away/
Regardless of our flaws we disengaged and failed/
I sensed her fading pulse, whispered in her ear/
And since the curtains dropped the frown returns, she sleeps engulfed in tears/

In this life we’ll break and shatter/ no delusions, no more lies/ I’ve come to terms- it doesn’t matter/ what once said is now left undone/ dissimulated, saturated I lie awake as if I ‘m stunned/ incinerated by your order/ I’m lashing out now, in decline/

I‘d caress if time just stood still/ a second chance for absent dreams/ if love is just where power’s mundane/ I’d hope we could anticipate/ in retrospective, in denial/ you misconceived while you abstained/ what was yours they all defiled/ stranded from us, in arrears|

3rd listen: It took me a while to realize it but, as the youngsters say, this slaps! 1st, 2nd listen: too long ago. nofatclips

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. modestwriggles
