It’s all turning grey... underneath the stars
Tears cloud the way... I’ve only come so far
On the overcast days... I don’t know anyone
As the sun starts to fade... it’s better all than none
Better all than none
Flashing hazard lights.... reflect upon the sheet
The circle’s burning bright... it’s just beyond my reach
And through the quiet night sky... we drift along the ground
The comets rushing by... but we don’t hear a sound
We don’t hear a sound
On the blackest day... the precipice I ride
Millions fall away... leaving mother Earth behind
In glory cold I lie... on a silent sleepless night
As catacombs in the sky... shimmer in your silver light
In your silver light
Underneath the stars... I don’t know anyone
I’ve only come so far... it’s better all than none
On a silent sleepless night... the precipice I ride
Through the quiet night sky... Mother Earth goodbye
In the flashing hazard lights... we drift along the ground
The circle’s burning bright... but we don’t hear a sound
We don’t hear a sound
It’s all turning grey... underneath the stars
It’s all turning grey... I don’t know anyone
It’s all turning grey... I’ve only come so far
It’s all turning grey... it’s better all than none

You won’t regret this
You won’t forget this
Persuasion cuts inside you
Temptation always finds you
We could be oceans away
Home is inside you
Disappear if we want to
You leave nothing behind you
I’m the one who can heal you
From the boisterous tides
I’m the one who will shield you
From the battle inside
You won’t forget this…

Impressions dance inside the haze
Clash and skirmish into one
We’re all settled in our ways
Fossilised, the damage done
As we while away the days
Vicious brute, you’ll take just what you need
Mummified and stored away
Safe inside eternity
Just stay away from me
Perpetual midnight
Ageless exclusion of light
I’ll never wake any more
I’ve taken myself out of the fight
And settled for perpetual midnight
A figure flounders in a daze
The hours turn into millennia
Wishes freeze into despair
’Till the chill’s no longer there
Please don’t try to excavate
For the longest time, it’s far too late
To ensure remains are saved
The hour’s come to disinter
And stay as you were
Perpetual midnight
Ageless exclusion of light
I’ll never wake any more
I’ve taken myself out of the fight
And settled for perpetual midnight
Perpetual midnight

Take me far away with you
All you need to know is I am dying with every day I choose to stay
Dancing by yourself is only so much fun
I need someone to while all this time we have away
And it blinds me whenever you leave my side
Parasites find me any place I try to hide
Swaying in the fading moonlight
I know it means nothing but these stupid gestures make me feel fine
I know you can understand; no one cracks this shell of mine
It’s big enough for two so come inside
Dreaming round the hazy sunsets, wild grass and tyre swings
Repressions of imaginary times
Whisper through the daisy chain, something daft I don’t remember
No one else would understand the line
And it blinds me whenever you leave my side
Parasites find me any place I try to hide
Let me know I can still satisfy
Suffocate me like you’d never try
‘Til my fatalism renders this a lie
And nothing I’ve seen can change my mind
And none of our souls could ever die

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 4 fans who also own “After The Flesh”
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.
