Lyrics:
You reside in grand disguises
Just to get, get away from it all
Falsify the life you're hiding
Just to get, get away from it all
But the truth we pursue as we all beg you to
Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up, whoa, whoa oh
Shut your mouth, you make me sick with
All the lies, all the lies that you spill
Slip and fall, I'll watch you drown in
All the lies, all the lies that you spill
As you're tongue-tied, did you believed it?
False pride never existed
Now I am cutting ties clean off
And I can breathe at last
So we all stand enthralled by this bland curtain call
And the truth we pursue as we all, we all beg you to
Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up, whoa, whoa oh
Don't even think about it
Don't even think about it, no
We're begging you
To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
Or kill us all
Stop there and peer inside of me
You'll find a man once lost at sea
But all the while I would think to myself
It's not the end, it's not the end at all
So sick of nothing going right
Sail on along into the night
Not even death could stand in the way
You never even tried in the first place
Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up, whoa, whoa oh
Don't even think about it
Don't even think about it, no
We're begging you
To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
Or kill us all
Or kill us all
Or kill us all

This song makes me cry, not because of the lyrics, but because of the time I listened to music like this. My stepfather was abusive and groomed me, and I can say this band probably kept me wanting to stay alive. I’m glad I heard them when I needed them.

[@christopheredwards9904]

I'm so sorry you ended up going through that, you hear a lot about how step-parents are terrible and usually they are, but to get a first-hand account of what happened is just horrifying. I'm glad that you're alive and (hopefully) better off and I hope you can recover from that. I don't wanna be "that guy" in a thread like this, but the word you're looking for is "groped," not Groomed. (sorry but there are people out there that can/will end up confusing them and get the wrong impression when they hear "groomed" so I just wanted to clarify)

[@Sovlstrr]

@@christopheredwards9904 oh thank you, and everyone used the word “groomed” to tell me what he did so I’ve referred to it that way. But thank you for clarifying! And I’m still alive and well, going through some things but it will be okay☺️ thank you :)

lyrics; You reside in grand disguises Just to get, get away from it all Falsify the life you're hiding Just to get, get away from it all But the truth we pursue as we all beg you to Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up (whoa, whoa, oh) Shut your mouth, you make me sick with All the lies, all the lies that you spill Slip and fall, I'll watch you drown in All the lies, all the lies that you spill As you're tongue-tied, did you believe it? False pride never existed Now I am cutting ties clean off And I can breathe at last So we all stand enthralled by this bland curtain call And the truth we pursue as we all, we all beg you to Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up (whoa, whoa, oh) Don't even think about it Don't even think about it, no We're begging you To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress Or kill us all Stop there and peer inside of me You'll find a man once lost at sea But all the while I would think to myself It's not the end, it's not the end at all So sick of nothing going right Sail on along into the night Not even death could stand in the way You never even tried in the first place Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up (whoa, whoa, oh) Don't even think about it Don't even think about it, no We're begging you To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress Or kill us all Or kill us all Or kill us all
