The silence takes control
Just sounds of the memories we let decompose.
No words can break our lips
They see through our secrets and callous scripts
Just wasting our days till we find a way out
When darkness surrounds
The ghosts cry out loud
Passion crimes
Hide behind our eyes
Innocence forsaken when we stepped across that line.
Your venom tastes so sweet
The pain softly kisses the tears that I weep.
Nameless faces fill the voids you know
Over and over, the ghosts won’t let go
Just wasting our days till we find a way out
When darkness surrounds
The ghosts cry out loud
Passion crimes
Hide behind our eyes
Innocence forsaken when we stepped across that line.

I have guilty
Pleasures far unknown
Confessed to nothing
Condemned to be alone
So kill me softly
But make me feel it slow
Now we’re transcending
To a love nouveau
There’s no gods to save me (x4)
So don’t be afraid to let your body die…
The saints are weeping
So say your prayers and kiss the world goodbye
Like you kiss me
(The saints are weeping)
Distract me with your tender lullabies
No more pretending
(The Gods can save me)
As we’re descending
Hear the angels call
Life ever-lasting
We can have it all
Now take my sorrow
Let’s make this bittersweet
There’s no tomorrow
So get me to a Priest
So say your prayers and kiss the world goodbye
Like you kiss me
(The saints are weeping)
Distract me with your tender lullabies
No more pretending
No more pretending
(The Gods can save me)
There’s no gods to save me
The saints are weeping
So say your prayers and kiss the world goodbye
Like you kiss me
(The saints are weeping)
Distract me with your tender lullabies
No more pretending
No more pretending
(The Gods can save me)

Common love isn't for us
We created something phenomenal
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
You got me feeling diamond rich
Nothing on this planet compares to it
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
Who needs to go to sleep, when I got you next to me?
All night I'll riot with you
I know you got my back and you know I got you
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Lights out, follow the noise
Baby keep on dancing like you ain't got a choice
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Adrenaline keeps on rushing in
Love the simulation we're dreaming in
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
I don't wanna live another life
Cuz this one's pretty nice
Living it up
Who needs to go to sleep, when I got you next to me?
All night I'll riot with you
I know you got my back and you know I got you
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Lights out, follow the noise
Baby keep on dancing like you ain't got a choice
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get physical
Hold on just a little tighter
Come on
Hold on, tell me if you're ready
Come on
Baby keep on dancing
Let's get physical
Hold on just a little tighter
Come on
Hold on, tell me if you're ready
Come on
Baby keep on dancing
Let's get physical
Lights out, follow the noise
Baby keep on dancing like you ain't got a choice
So come on
Let's get physical
Let's get physical
Physical
Let's get physical

Little Joy

It’s not a home,
We’ve let it fall too far this time
Let the camera roll
Cause your story changes by design
Lies multiply under the vision of the analyzed
This waste of time has defined my chance in finding love, by now
Save me the empty pages left to write
While you destroy
What’s left inside that can’t be satisfied
Cause you won’t give it a voice
Now close your eyes
And picture someone you desire
Let me be the hand
That you’ll inescapably devour
Bring me to life, cause your hold has got me paralyzed
Your little joys are just flickers that will fade in time, my love
Save me the empty pages left to write
While you destroy
What’s left inside that can’t be satisfied
Cause you won’t give it a voice
These little joys they try to change you
Who will you run to when there’s no one new?
You favor joys that make you blush
And your favorite joys, they feed your lust
This is the start of something dangerous
Your little joys’ll turn you to dust.
Save me the empty pages left to write.
While you destroy
What’s left inside that can’t be satisfied
Cause you won’t give it a voice
These little joys they try to change you,
Who will you run to when there’s no one new?
Save me the empty pages left to write
(These little joys they try to change you)
MY LITTLE JOY
While you destroy what can’t be satisfied
(These little joys they try to change you)
Cause you won’t give it a voice
These little joys they try to change you
Who will you run to when there’s no one new?
(These little joys they try to change you)
MY LITTLE JOY

Neon Hideaway
04:23
|
|||
|
Highway shines through the pouring rain
Washed away lost souls remain
Searching for our destination
Shelter from this desolation
But these days are numbered like a time bomb ticking away
You could say
Time Was never our friend anyway
Living for the moment
While the dreamers come to the morning sun, love’s on display
Gone astray
As the new desire plays
One night with you, my darling
Your lies become disarming
Burn the bridges and break the walls away
Surrender to a new day
And when the dawn has broken
Upon this pure emotion
Tell me you can’t let me go
Just say…
Forever is a new day
Blurred lines never read the same, but we’re
Still the spark that lights the flame
A gaze into our passion calling
Hungry eyes, I keep on falling
But we can save each other
As the daylight fades to gray
We can stay
Underneath the Neon Hideaway
Living in the moment
While the dreamers run to the morning sun, love’s on display
Gone astray
While the new desire plays
One night with you, my darling
Your lies become disarming
Burn the bridges and break the walls away
Surrender to a new day
And when the dawn has broken
Upon this pure emotion
Tell me you can’t let me go
Just say…
Forever is a new day
But let’s save each other
As the daylight slips away
We can stay
Love under the Neon Hideaway
One night with you, my darling
Your lies, become disarming
Burn the bridges and break the walls away
Surrender to a new day
And when your light has broken
Under this pure emotion
Never let this moment fade away
Forever is a new day
Highway shines through the pouring rain
Washed away lost souls remain

Sacred Heart

It’s cold as hell in this empty bed
And here I’m fucked up from you again.
Time burns slow like a cigarette,
With the ghosts of you running through my head.
And in the dark show me what to believe
It’s all part of the fantasy
If we sleep
We can be together in our dreams
Don’t be sad
When the world tears you a-part
Cause you set fire to my sac-red heart
I’ve lived through seasons of true despair,
So I can feel your heat in the air.
I close my eyes and I - say a prayer
Take the weight of this cross I bear.
If we sleep
We can be together in our dreams
Don’t be sad
When the world tears you a-part
Cause you set fire to my sac-red heart
Say goodnight, save goodbye for another life.
Keep pushing this love to the border line
If we sleep
We can be together in our dreams
Don’t be sad
When the world tears you a-part
Cause you set fire to my sac-red heart
Say goodnight, save goodbye for another life.
Keep pushing this love to the border line

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 25 fans who also own “Sacred Heart EP”
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.

What a wonderful album. If you have an affinity for any kind of goth music, this is a must-own.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.

The Boston lo-fi psych-pop artist goes full dark synth on this immersive and catchy new release.
