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
