[Verse 1]
I saw three pictures on a wall
They made me feel like I was lost
Inside a wall-less maze
In a dampened haze
In a motionless ravine
[Verse 2]
I stood beside a sculpture's soul
Soft angles made me feel at home
In wild and calm retreat
Silk blankets made of stone or made of sheet
[Bridge]
Oh, when the pigment of your instinct fades
Then you'd better wash the past away
You'll revive yourself in a short while
If you just smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I found
I'm lost in the crowd
[Chorus]
Fading actor
Morning after
Fading actor
Hеar the laughter
[Verse 3]
I read a mеssage on the floor
Laid out like seashells on a shore
Those random couple words
Were enough to keep the interest of the crowds
[Verse 4]
There was a camera in the room
A voyeur left to catch the sleight of hand
That might just act
If a certain passerby just has the cheek
[Bridge]
Oh, when the pigment of your instinct fades
Then you'd better wash the past away
You'll revive yourself in a short while
If you just smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I found
I'm lost in the crowd
[Chorus]
Fading actor
Morning after
Fading actor
Hear the laughter
[Outro]
Fading actor
Fading actor
Fading actor
Fading actor
Fading actor
Fading actor
Fading actor
Fading actor
