The Act We Act

I'm watching you walk as you walk that distant way

Take that thing away from me, take away most everything

I couldn't say I'd blame you, well, you should never look in back

You wouldn't be to blame if you couldn't take it back

Hours slipping by as you watch the worlds collide

And now you're nothing more than another passerby

The dark, it turns to light

In a distant flash of night

I'm rolling with the tide, I confide

The act, we wear it thin again

If affection holds you back, well, then what is left to hold?

If I could find the answer to that question, then I'd know

The thoughts that clutter up your mind and leave me feeling drained

And walking pacing up the walls across the floor again

All the things I haven't seen

Once the final curtain has been raised

The act we act is wearing thin

The act we act under my skin

The words, the words we said goodbye

The words left choking in my mind

The act we act is wearing thin

I think we wear it out again

Another big explosion

Leaving you hoping

That something that once held you down

Could leave you feeling on the ground

The confusion that persists

Decisions that you guessed

The one to stay and watch this

The one you might have missed

All the things I haven't seen

Once the final curtain has been raised

The act we act is wearing thin

The act we act we under my skin

The words, the words we said goodbye

The words left choking in my mind

The act we act is wearing thin

I think we wear it out again, woah

The act we act we under my skin

The act we act we under my—

Forming a conclusion

And you're left standing
