Baby, I never had a chance
And I got myself wrapped up in your trance
There’s no romance, there’s no chance
I don’t believe in lying to get in your pants
Just for once baby, let’s do it the old way
I hope that someday, you won’t want me to go away
I’m not going anywhere, baby
I’m chained up in love
I’m not gonna go anywhere, baby
I’m chained up in love
Lover, why did you do me wrong?
Cause you abandoned me for far too long
There’s no romance, there’s no chance
I don’t believe in lying to get in your pants
Just for once baby, let’s do it the old way
I hope that someday, you won’t want me to go away
I’m not going anywhere, baby
I’m chained up in love
I’m not gonna go anywhere, baby
I’m chained up in love

I saw you walk around with some other man
Baby, I guess that’s up to you
You’ve got your own two feet, and that’s the truth
You can walk away, I guess that’s all up to you
Let’s pretend we’re friends, let’s pretend we’re married
Oh baby how good’s that?
I want to have you all to my very own
Baby you can belong to me
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to do
Baby boy, I guess it’s up to you
Can’t figure myself out, so what’s the use?
Baby boy , how ‘bout we rock to you
There is no other man who’s got it like you do
I guess I’ll walk with you
Let’s just become best friends, I don’t know how
Let’s pretend, we’ll all do it somehow
It doesn’t matter how we found each other
As long as you’re with me
I know we’ll figure all this out as lovers
Oh baby ain’t that complete?
I saw you walk around with some other man
Baby, I guess that’s up to you
You’ve got your own two feet, and that’s the truth
You can walk away, I guess that’s all up to you

Good In The Dark

Come and find me out there in the night
I was out of spite, I was out of spite
Come and leave me out there in the blue
I was meant for you, I was meant for you
Don’t you want me?
Don’t you need me?
Why can’t you tease me?
I’ll be good in the dark
If you see me
Why don’t you leave me?
And if you beat me
I’m so good in the dark
You can’t see me out there in the black
I am here full-time, I’ve been keeping track
Come and breathe me into your blue lungs
I was out of time, I was here for tongue
Don’t you want me?
Don’t you need me?
Why can’t you tease me?
I’ll be good in the dark
If you see me
Why don’t you leave me?
And if you beat me
I’m so good in the dark

Creep Distance

Fragile hearts, they mean everything to me
My enemies
And so I always say
My hands appear to be
Too rough with everything
So I can feel the gravity
Don’t stand so close to me
Or anyone
Don’t stand so close to me
Or anyone (Or anyone)
Don’t stand so close to me
Why do I even try?
Can’t fake my energy
So why do I even try?
What did I do to get my way?
To be with you
It’s almost magic
But now that we’ve gone far apart
Not ancient arts
But powers beyond my grasp
Don’t stand so close to me
Or anyone
Don’t stand so close to me
Or anyone (Or anyone)
Don’t stand so close to me
Why do I even try?
Can’t fake my energy
So why do I even try?

I’ve been swimming in an ocean of tears
I went swimming in all of my fears
And every day is like a burning question
I never thought that I would become your weapon
Told you I was clean now
I told you I do believe
And I told you I was clean now
I hope that every day you believe
And everything is gonna come out, babe
Is everything under control? Oh oh
I hope I don’t lose my mind
I don’t think it’s human, woah-oh
In a minute I found my birth-right
Then I thought I couldn’t get back my soul
I believe almost every minute
That you tell me I’m yours

*PAST*
*FUTURE*
I get no respect from the voices in my life
I get no respect from the spectres of my mind
I can never get them out of my head, I can never
I don’t want to think about anything but the future
So take me to a time, take me to a place where I can live, always
So take me to a time, take me to a place, no return
Take me to the future
Take me to the future, baby
I get no respect from the voices in my life
I get no respect from the spectres haunting me
I can never get them out of my head, I can never
I don’t want to think about a thing but the future

I was watching your new feature all alone in bed
I took out my credit card to see you giving head
My new life is seeing your body, my new life is you
I come in to new positions
I’ll watch anything you do
*Black light*
*Adult film*
*So-so*
I’m dying to give you my love, baby *So-so*
I’m dying to give you my love
To watch you
*Black light*
*Adult film*
*So-so*
I became your loyal creature
Watching on TV (As I watched on TV)
I own all these dirty pictures
And everything you see
My new life is seeing your body, my new life is you (My new life is you)
I commit to new positions
I’ll watch anything you do
*Black light*
*Adult film*
*So-so*
I’m dying to give you my love, baby *So-so*
I’m dying to give you my love
To watch you *So-so*
I’m dying to give you my love, baby *So-so*
I’m dying to give you my love
To watch you
I give my love to watch you
On TV
I give my love to watch you

She Lives In The Pipes
03:36

I awoke to the sound of a girl in my room, oh no
Quiet, creeping, I can still hear her singing from the walls
I will find where the sound is coming from tonight
I’m gonna find that screaming harlot tonight
Visiting time is over
So what more is left to say
I’ll find where she’s been hiding
She lives in the pipes to pray
She lives in the pipes
It provokes when the noises come back to dig in
Investigating every sound is making me lose sleep
I invoke and provoke all the sounds I hear
I’m gonna find that screaming harlot tonight
She lives in the pipes x2
Visiting time is over
So what more is left to say
I’ll find where she’s been hiding
She lives in the pipes to pray
She lives in the pipes
Visiting time is over
So what’s more left to say?
I finally found her hiding place
She lives in the pipes to pray
She lives in the pipes
She lives in the pipes x4
*Come find me*

Daddy went and left my side
And now I don’t feel a thing (I don’t feel a thing)
Daddy went and left my side
I don’t know what to do with myself (myself)
But I don’t feel I’m worse than any other love criminal
I don’t feel like I’m worse than any old love criminal oh oh
And though you fall asleep, you feel nothing (nothing)
And though you fall asleep, I know you feel nothing (nothing)
I should feel how I feel x4
Daddy left me alone
now I don’t know who else to scream at
Daddy left me all alone now
I don’t know what to do with myself (myself)
I just don’t feel as bad as any love criminal
I just don’t feel any worse than any love criminal
I know you fall asleep, I know you feel nothing baby
I know you sleep at night, I know you won’t feel anything
I know you fall asleep, I know you feel nothing baby (nothing)
I know I know you fall asleep, you feel nothing baby
I should feel how I feel x4

Nothing to say
It’s hard to care
Telling me how
It’s easy without me
To break the silence
I shiver, I shout
To end the violence
My whisper cries out
If you love me, say you do
Take my picture, why don’t you?
Oh if you love my point of view
Take my picture
Oh if you love my point of view
Take my picture
I can’t go on
Without their adoring
Electric eyes
They love me
Come calling
To break the silence
I shiver and I shout
To end the violence
My whisper cries out
If you love me, say you do
Take my picture, why don’t you?
Oh if you love my point of view
Take my picture
Oh if you love my point of view
Take my picture
If you love me, say you do
Take my picture, why don’t you?
Oh if you love my point of view
Take my picture
Oh if you love my point of view
Take my picture

Embrace Death (Single)
05:05

VERSE 1:You came to find me, lover boy. You came as quick as wind just to say you needed room again. Oh, I don't feel the same. Pass the gates to the garden of roses where you know I belong. I can take you to my bed again. A touch that can't prolong.
BRIDGE: And you know I welcome death again, I embrace it with both arms. And you know I wanted love again, but you know I will cause harm.
CHORUS: Oh no I won't waste you anymore. A struggling machine. Just to say you wanted love again, but I don't feel the same. Oh no I won't waste you anymore, the struggling machine. Just to say you wanted love again, Oh no i don't feel the same.
VERSE 2: I remember what they said to me, the meanest things they knew. Wasn't hard to get the best of me, wasn't hard at all to do. Like a baby in a mother's arms, a fragile thing like me. I'm a misery and loving harm. Whatever I can be.

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.
