It’s all clear when I see you lit, you’ll see me laugh when I see you slip
Run far from this it will kill, if up to me you’d be quite ill
Watch me grin as you run for it, I don’t know who let the candle slip
I’ve seen you laugh, I’ve seen you cry
I will not live until you die, you die
I cannot live until you die
I can’t, I cannot live until you die
I’ve been around, but I don’t wanna be here
You’ve been the cause of all this fuckin’ pain and loss
Why play around when I don’t wanna be here? Now I gotta be clear
Some say I’m off, but now it’s time to be known
Why play around when all this time I laid low?
I went along but now it’s time to be clear: I don’t wanna be here.
You don’t wanna be here
All falls off when I see your eyes, I will not live your awful lie
Run and hope that the sun don’t shine, I might as well run and slit your eyes out
The candle slipped as you ran for it, it won’t blow up if you land on it
I’ve seen you laugh, I’ve seen you cry
I will not live until you die, you die
I cannot live until you die
I can’t, I cannot live until you die
I’ve been around, but I don’t wanna be here
You’ve been the cause of all this fuckin’ pain and loss
Why play around when I don’t wanna be here? Now I gotta be clear
Some say I’m off, but now it’s time to be known
Why play around when all this time I laid low?
I went along but now it’s time to be clear: I don’t wanna be here.
I don’t wanna be here
You don’t wanna be here
(You don’t wanna be)
I don’t wanna be here
(You don’t wanna be)
So now you’re gonna be…
Such a saint, yeah
You’re such a saint, yeah
Go on and run
A saint
Go on and run, go savior
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
A gorgeous record of blissed out shoegaze streaked with stardust and a glam rock edge from this San Diego-based artist. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 19, 2023
