Flowers Of Doubt

Is this a swallow down in earth?
Caged in broken feathers and lifelines?
Born a martyr, delight for the dirt
The dead snake devoured your sun away
And I can’t feel myself
I lose the sense of time
And I can’t see myself
Because everything’s draining
And everything’s reducing
And everything’s breaking
And bruising and hurtful
If you laugh I’ll cover your mouth
Nail your feet down if you try to run
Deflower any hope ready to blossom
And as you cry the more I’ll smile
And I can’t feel myself
I lose the sense of time
And I can’t see myself
Because everything’s draining
And everything’s reducing
And everything’s breaking
And bruising and hurtful
The slender and silken
That’s all but unable
To change itself into
Doubtful flowers

Drinking The Ghosts
04:13

|
Got to go, got to be alone
Got to go before it shows
Intoxicated breathing
The pain devastating
But there’s nowhere left to go
There’s nowhere left to go
I puke – I piss – I bleed
I once was the beauty queen
Then I got my face wrinkled
Then I got my hands wrinkled
Now searching for a pill down on the floor
Now searching for a pill down on the floor
And I drink the ghosts away
Tomorrow’s a corpse
Today’s failed intention
Nothing’s stable anymore
Then I found the place
Where animals hide to die
Die
Die
Die
And I drink the ghosts away

No Longer Human

With silent agonies he rots inside
With silent agonies he rots inside
With silent agonies he rots inside
With silent agonies he rots inside
“He’s a good boy, but he does bad things.”
“He’s a good boy,” they said, “but he does bad things.”
“He’s a good boy, but he does bad things.”
“He’s a good boy,” they said, “but he does bad things.”
There he lies on the floor
Passed out cold, no traces.
Always shaking in human presence
Drowning fears in liquor bottles
Yes, liquor bottles
In cold embraces
In empty kisses
He tries to hide.
In rude laughter
In cheap survival
In weak withdrawal
He stays alive.
He punched in doors
He slashed his chest
Once a weakling
Always a weakling
But he’ll survive, a scarred revival
Here today… gone to hell!
Now watch him turn more dependent
Stupid boy!
Stupid boy!
He says “I’m done”
He says “I’m done”
He says “I’m done”
“I’m no longer human.”

Time And Time Again
04:16

Like a feather in the wind
And as you float into the night
Days pass you by
Like a drifter under rain
And as you walk into the fields
Trailing with no will
You take a chance, you take a turn
But all the roads they lead you home
Face your worst fears time and time again
Tearstained black years time and time again
Went searching for the place
And as you moved on and on
It would ease the pain
And in your final stand you said:
“I hope to see you all again,
“Sometime in the dreams.”
You took the chance, you took the turn
No cars left to drive you home
Face your worst fears time and time again
Tearstained black years time and time again

Burnt To Light
06:04

Time will skip tonight
I'll lose the need to blink my eyes
We'll play the deeper cuts
And my blood's long gone dry
To cry and to laugh
Tonight we burn to light
Watch the candles burn
No longer will they hurt
It's the sweat and tears
Bodies move, no more fears
To cry and to laugh
Tonight we burn to light
We're reaching ecstacy
In a love that's so true
You sing me lullabies
As I quench on your special brew
To cry and to laugh
Tonight we burn to light

A Farewell With Regret
05:00
|

|
Broken glass hearts
Shatter the light
From one room to another
Tears will trace the time
Let me warm your hips
Under cold sheets
From one bed to another
Tears will trace the time
And I was young
And it felt cold outside
And I had to give in to temptation then
And I was young
And you needed someone too
Had to use me just like I used you
For just a farewell with regret
Craving comes alive
Rueful feel the lies
Repeat your dreams to another
Tears will trace the time
The warmth of your kiss
Save it for the thieves
Repeat your fears to another
Tears will trace the time
And I was young
And it felt cold outside
And I had to give in to temptation then
And I was young
And you needed someone too
Had to use me just like I used you
And I will scrape your touch off my skin
And I was young
And it felt cold outside
And I had to give in to temptation then
And I was young
And you needed someone too
Had to use me just like I used you

My Demons Drive
03:58
|
|||
|
I hid myself
In pavement cracks
And faces of clocks
And I left my marks
In beer glass stains
And the rust of rails
My demons drive
I turned pale
Lurking in the shade
Trying to cover my tracks
I crawled in the dust
And while they overwhelmed
I barely clutched at straws
My demons drive
It’s time
My demons drive

For When It Hurts
06:21
|
|||
|
I'll keep my screams within
Bite my hand until it bleeds
Won't let it show
Won't let it show
Never let it show
But if you're feeling down
And nothing's real around
Just let it go
Just let it go
Just give me a call
And I'll never let you down
'Cause it's just something to depend on
For when it hurts
A little thing to ease the pain
For when it hurts
And you'll need it by your side
For when it hurts
Keep it close to stay alive
For when it hurts
It's just that we're all alone
It's just that we're all alone
It's just that we're all alone
All alone while we go
Some of us can't make it
Make it through the show
Some of us can't make it
Make it through the show
Just let it go
Just let it go
Just give me a call
'Cause it's just something to depend on
For when it hurts
A little thing to ease the pain
For when it hurts
And you'll need it by your side
For when it hurts
Keep it close to stay alive
For when it hurts

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 21 fans who also own “Flowers Of Doubt”
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.
