The Actor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I smile at the misplaced faces
Trying to convince myself
All the answers lye with me
I look at my broken picture
Find it so hard to believe
As now the past comes back to haunt me
It's alright I'm alright
I just need to believe
I'm not afraid anymore
I will feel my way back
Lay your hands on me
Wish I hadn't been so vain
Been and gone and thrown away
Regrets I keep
The blame I give to me
It's alright I'm alright
I just need to believe
I'm not afraid anymore
I will feel my way back
Lay your hands on me
Here's the point I raise blame
And discipline the fool inside my head
Where nothings fair and no one there
To honour all mistakes I've made
And looking through my own debris
I see nothing but me and more of me
It's so distressing all the blessing
Never seems to fall on me.
The pictures framed to form an edge
The truth it lies within the heart
It's funny how we live this life and
Never seem to live enough
I won't be true
Cause I can't seem to
It's only just a state of mind that
Time and time and time and time again
It changes, I swallow
What I want to say
I'm broken up I cannot breath
I cannot be I need I need to
All in all and every time I follow you
I see it out; see it out of blind eyes
It's alright I'm alright
I just need to believe
I'm not afraid anymore
I will feel my way back
Lay your hands on me
