Lyrics

Thundering rapture
Rapturous applause
The scene is set, the end is staged
And I won't say its ending
But it was dawning on depleted
I know, I know, I know, I know
We are actors
Playing out a simple lie
Two's the audience
And we will pretend that we thrive
I don't know if it brings me satisfaction
Or the comfort in the lie
Until the act reaches it end
We found a hollow lease of life
Idiosyncrasies in the plans that we made
More animosity in the visits that i paid
I feel like we're living in a facsimile
Of a long gone glowing glory
We retreat from the shared space of our past
Your apathetic absence left us vacant and apart
The common grounds on which we once came so far
Between old oak, grove and the prison bars
We are actors
Playing out a simple lie
Two's the audience
And we will pretend that we thrive
Now the stage is simply set for one
The ensemble has departed theyre gone
Now we're strangers I'm
Swept by life's unbroken tides
Those 2 years of my life
We danced in the woodland, limbs beside
In undertow our restless sides
Consumed by earthly youth's desire
I wanted more out of my life
We are actors
Playing out a simple lie
Two's the audience
And we will pretend that we thrive
I dont know if it brings me satisfaction
Or the comfort in the lie
Until the act reaches it end
We found a hollow lease of life
In the wake of an unceremonious end
I lay in the empty space to which our time was once lent
