Lyrics
Actors On Actors
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.
So god, this is where you change the names
To protect the innocent
I left 'em all the same
'cause nobody changes
Leave 'em all the same
But omit the addresses
I'm out numbered in the hall
Of some shit hotel
Where something someone wrote is going on
And nothing is real
And nothing's going down
For everything i do so well
How come i feel like such a failure?
When actors on actors are acting out
I'll only write this song
I like to ring these numbers
When i know nobody's home
And i listen and i listen to 'em
God, the voices sound like screams to me
Done until they're tired on cue (?)
And i'm out numbered in the hall
Of this shit hotel
Where something someone wrote is going on
Nothing is real
And nothing's going down
Nobody's real here
And nothing's going down
Oooh
I'm out numbered in the hall
Of some shit hotel
Where something someone wrote is going on
And nothing is real and nothing's going down
For everything i do so well
How come i feel like such a failure
When actors on actors are acting out
I'll only write the song
When actors on actors are acting out
I only write the song
