Actor

​

It’s morning, you’re checking on me

You’re restless, your pictures are speaking

The silence of night time doesn’t lull you like the rest of us

You’re irate, you’re lonely

​

The clouds are dissolving above us

Insistent there’s meaning for the worse

You warn us, with shrill voice, there’s an eye behind the cumulus

They’re in control. You’re serious.

​

You’re an actor, your scene’s over, we pack up

Joke about it, have a debrief, and move on

It was scripted, and we knew it, it’s alright

We’re pretending, we’re not like this in real life

​

You call me, but only to police

Then conflict erupts as if we’re enemies

And so I’m beginning to prefer it when you didn’t care

You’re encroaching in despair

​

You’re an actor, your scene’s over, we pack up

Joke about it, have a debrief, and move on

It was scripted, and we knew it, it’s alright

We’re pretending, we’re not like this in real life

​

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh x4
