Lyrics
Find another songLet's go opaque, this is my old country
Endless sleep
Or do tyrants glare? It is over now, obsolete
This whole lie was there to support me
My life in the sky
Where it's endless
And the days are all night
I feel fine
Ever the actor
I tried to tell you
You won't like the answer
I get up with the senseless
Of the same guise and repartee
I'm electing to try
I've got an interest, and the stars are outside
I feel fine
Ever the actor
In exile or honesty, I'll wait
You won't like the answer
Somewhere these eyes, set in stone
Hoping to belong here
I get up with the senseless
Of the same guise and repartee
I'm electing to try
'Cause it's endless
The crowds are on fire
I'll be fine
Ever the actor
I tried to tell you (I'll be there)
Enter the after, I'll wait
I'll be there for you
I think the sun can come up
Be the rain when blood gets in your eyes
Feel the pain and turmoil that you hide
Everything returning like the tide
Take it all apart again, go find weight
Go find weight
Go find weight
Go find weight
Go find weight
