You’re better than the rest
Things you own are the best
You put me to the test
Day to day, you’re a mess
I said it before
I’ll say it again
You get under my skin
You get under my skin
You do it all the time
Blatant lies out of line
You’re always in your prime
Locked space out of time
I told you before
I’ll tell you again
You get under my skin
You get under my skin
You’re better than the rest
You’re never second best
You put me to the test
Every day you’re a mess
I said it before
I’ll say it again
You get under my skin
You get under my skin
You get under my skin
You get under my skin

You walk into the same place
Where dreams begin
You walk into the
The ball and chain it’s always been
Grind
Day in, Day out
This was not the plan
You thought you’d get rich
But only just work for the man
Grind
Grind
Grind
Grind
Day in, Day out
The task remains the same
The same old shit
Will surely make you go insane
Grind
Day in, Day out
This is the life you’ll spend
The place where dreams began
Is where they’ll surely end
Grind

Pick me up
Pick me up
Off of the floor
I’m the one
I’m the one
You once adored
Been down this road
One too many times
Too many times
I know I’ve crossed the line
Blind
Pick me up … again
Pick me up
Off of the floor … again
I’m the one
I’m the one
You now abhor
Been down this road
One too many times
Too many times
I know I’ve crossed the line
Been down this road
One too many times
Too many times
I know I’ve crossed the line

The Floorboard
03:51
|
|||
|
Fear of the unknown
Chilled to the bone
Back is bowing
I don’t know where I’m going
Feeling all alone
With no real safety zone
Falling on the sword
Getting scared on the floorboard
Thinking I’m to blame
Hand on open flame
It is all by chance
Victim of circumstance
Fetus position
Helpless condition
Heart and mind soared
Time to curl up on the floorboard

This Dark Place

|
I’ve seen
All that I want to see
You’ve been
All that you want to be
I’m tired of seeing these people fall
I’m tired of seeing no action at all
Blame it on human
Blame it on gun
To be complete
One needs the other one
Faces you can’t deface
Metal you can displace
One thing I’m sure of is
This world is a dark place
It’s all about lobbies
Your fucking hobbies
You have to choose
One thing or the other
What’s more important
You?
You?
You or your own fucking brother?

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 13 fans who also own “This Dark Place”
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.
