Something wicked this way comes
I move a little closer
Instincts say run
Eyes like midnight
Lips like a crime
I wonder if I’ll make it out alive this time
Close my eyes I just play dead
A knife into my heart
Just like a bullet to my head
She lays me down
Into a shallow grave
The life she takes
Will be the life she saves
She’ll never hear these words
She’ll never hear when I say
I love you
But you don’t want me
If I made you cry
Would you still haunt me?
You turned making love
Into a black art
And now you’ve turned my heart of gold
Into a black heart
Darkness falls
I can hear the rain
She digs her fingers in my heart again
Her skin so white
She looks like the snow
I try to escape
But there’s nowhere to go
She pays no attention
She captures my soul
The more she ignores me
The more she controls
Three little words from between my lips
Love Me Forever
She’ll never hear these words
She’ll never hear when I say
I love you
But you don’t want me
If I made you cry
Would you still haunt me?
You turned making love
Into a black art
And now you’ve turned my heart of gold
Into a black heart
I can love
I can feel
Never trust
Never real
All the words
All the ways
All the lies
All the days
I can see
The bitter end
I wonder
And she pretends
I can love
She can’t see
She can’t love
A man like me
I love you
But you don’t want me
If I made you cry
Would you still haunt me?
You turned making love
Into a black art
And now you’ve turned my heart of gold
Into a black heart
Irresistibly dark EBM tailor-made for the Halloween season, this is all driving rhythms, midnight synths and ominous vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 21, 2023
Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2017
Melbourne duo SaD craft dreamy goth pop with reverb-drenched guitars and pulsing bass, indebted to the dark dancefloors of the past. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 30, 2020
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. modestwriggles
