...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Millennium Actress

Millennium Actress

(album: XI: BLEED HERE NOW - 2022)

Scenes from the life of our Millennium Actress
Photos framed up on the walls
People will stop her to ask for an autograph
Faces look up as she stares through the window
Wondering which way the rain will fall
Would you rather be someone that no one
Knows and no one cares about?
Knows and no one cares about

Cuts ever soft the frames of the reel
Can't save your face from the shame you must feel

And even though you're our Millennium Actress
All that you've acted in, all that you love still belongs
To someone else but not you
To someone else but not you

The beasts that you ran from when you took to the country
Have found a new reason to hunt you down
The walls of your home won't protect you from being caught now
Don't let our demons divide us alone
The flowers have wilted, the tea has soured
You were always the one in the poster
That I loved and I adored
That I loved and I adored

Peer through the lens at the end of a rope
Hasn't endeared me to this fake new world
You say you're all actors, but have you learned how to act calm?
You think that I'm someone you feel that you know
Outside of my face in the photograph
The Millennium Actress that died
Long before you were born
Long before you were born

Don't let the light that bleeds through the film
Trick you to think that I'm here and I'm real

'Cause even though I'm your Millennium Actress
All that I've acted in, all that I love still belongs
To someone else but not me
To someone else but not me
To someone else but not me
To someone else but not me

(And you will know us by the trail of the dead)
