Actors

[Verse 1]

Safe little house, safe little friends

Safe little thoughts to keep you safe

From all those big bad wolves that eat you up (Aww, shit)

Safe in your room, safe as a tomb

Sleep in a coffin made of glass

It takes a big facade to hide the cracks

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you make this last?

'Cause now I'm not so sure

Are you up to the task?

Sometimes the sickness is the cure

You're searching so hard

You've lost yourself

[Chorus]

Does it help you to pray as you're wasting away

Like a silver screen cliche?

'Cause after all we're actors on a stage

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Will it help you to wait for the moment to break

Is it real or is it fake?

All we are, just chapters on a page

(Oh-oh, oh-oh. oh-oh, oh-oh)

'Cause after all we're actors on a stage

[Verse 2]

Hearing you now, shedding the doubts

They'll be no past or future tense

Regrets a waste of time and plans will change (Plans will always change)

Oh, some for the worst, some for the best

You know you can't always get your way (So selfish)

So worried about what's next, you lost today (Now you lost today)

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you make this last?

'Cause now I'm not so sure

Are you up to the task?

Sometimes the sickness is the cure

You're searching so hard

You've lost yourself

[Chorus]

Does it help you to pray as you're wasting away

Like a silver screen cliche?

'Cause after all we're actors on a stage

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Will it help you to wait for the moment to break

Is it real or is it fake?

All we are, just chapters on a page

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

'Cause after all we're actors on a stage

[Bridge]

Can you let yourself, can you let yourself

Will you let yourself, will you let yourself let go?

Let go

Can you let yourself, can you let yourself

Won't you let yourself? Just let yourself let go

Let go

Safe little house, safe little friends

Safe little thoughts to keep you safe

[Chorus]

Does it help you to pray as you're wasting away

Like a silver screen cliche?

'Cause after all we're actors on a stage

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Will it help you to wait for the moment to break

Is it real or is it fake?

All we are, just chapters on a page

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Outro]

Does it help you to pray as you faded away

Like a memory?

'Cause all we are just chapters on a page

And after all, we're actors on a stage
