A.C.T. LYRICS

1. Intro

[Instrumental]

2. Wailings From A Building

No, It Cannot Be The Morning Light
I Open Up My Eyes, Dried Out From A Worried Night
Children, It Is Enough To Drive One Round The Bend
I'm In Need For Sleep, Is That So Hard To Comprehend?

Sneaking Round Like Mice
To Conceal Those Stupid Lies
I Don't Hear The Things That You Say
But Hidden Words An Thoughts Affect My Day

"I Still Remember When We Were One
All That Dedication
And How I Love That Integration
Why Can't You See?
What You Are Doing, All Recoils On Me"

So, I Guess Your Visits Paid Off Pretty Well
For You They're All The Same, Pieces In Your Own Game
Landlord, How Nice To See You, Tell Me What's The Score
A Character Like You, Never Says A Thing That's True

Lodgers Of Your Kind
Create Disorder In One's Mind
You Are Inside Of Me, You're My Pain
My Bricks, My Walls, They Soon Will Go Insane
Will I Cave In?

[Chorus]

Did You Have To Freeze Out Gardener Ted?
It Used To Smell Good From My Flower Bed
Stairways Dirty, Water Pipes Unclean
It Isn't How I'd Like To Be Seen
I Cannot Stand This,
I'm No Longer A Teen
A Building With That Tension
Will Finally Cave In!

[Chorus]

3. Mr. Landlord - Apartment 121

"You Better Honour Him, Don't Jeopardize Your Stay
Put On That Perfect Smile And Start Sucking Up!
Hey! Mr. Landlord, Nice To See You Again
Always A Joy When You're Dropping By
We Pretend To Appreciate Wicked Games That He's Playing"

This Edifice, It Rocks Because Of
Worries Are Growing Large
All Its Inmates, They Fear The One Who's
Striking The Gavel Hard

All Dressed Up, Tailor-Made Suit
And A Tie From Giorgio Armani, He's Striding With A Smile
He Is Overjoyed, Swelled With Loftiness
As He Bites The End Of A Large Cuban Cigar

[Repeat]

Screaming, Pointing And Telling Them How
A True Tenant Should Be
Threatening With Turning Off Hot Water, Cable And Power Too
Privacy Is Not Possible, It Doesn't Matter If Door's Closed
Somehow He Is Watching You

He's The Landlord, The One With All The Strength
It Doesn't Matter If You Don't Like What He Says To You

[Repeat]

Then Suddenly One Of Them Screamed Out Loud
Hey Neighbours Look, I Think We're Being Watched
Who Is Responsible For This, All Agreed On One Man
Everybody, Now Listen To Me, Let Us Play Along
Greet Him When You See Him
Let's Slowly Beat Him Down

"Hey! Mr. Landlord, Nice To See You Again
It's Always A Joy When You're Dropping By
You Better Honour Him, Don't Jeopardize Your Stay
We Pretend To Be Unaware Of It All"

4. Torn By A Phrase. Garden

By Myself, I'm Here Alone In Tears, Now Days And Weeks Gone By
Still It Feels The Same, I Wonder What Made It Go Wrong

Loneliness And Silence And My Soul Is Aching, Torn Inside
Will Great Emptiness Heal; Will Love Cherish Me Once Again

Everything's So Different Now, Even Water Taste So Strange
I Close My Eyes, It Hurts Too Much To See

You Came And Gave Me Love
I Thought That It Was Meant To Be
Somehow It Had To End
I Couldn't See That What I Treasure Had Gone

This Is All, Still News To Me, Engravings Cut Inside My Head
These Are Drawings That Will Not Be Erased Or Fade By Time
Thinking Of The Life We Shared A Smile Across My Face Appears
All Joy We Shared It Ended When You Spoke Those Words

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Trying To Be Strong Although I'm Weaker Than I've Ever Been
Longing For You, Dreaming Of You, Everything Is Gone

Since That Day It Seems Like Life Has Lost Its Spark In Me
I Am Lost In This Chapter, Tell Me When It Ends

5. Ted's Ballad - Attic

Watching your walls, your cracks and your flaws
They are all beauty marks as far as I see
One drainpipe is loose, like a tile on your roof
But your heart is as great as Camelot's

Standing here tall, in all your grace
You emanate hope to me

You make me want to live
You give me strength to want to give
I know you feel my love
I can see it in your eyes

Your bricks shining red - can you all see the irony?
On your fine flowerbed - they are laughing behind his back
I mend it with deep respect and loving care
Your windows are clean - all the need is a friend who cares
By the man no one have seen - he's the man no one sees a friend
He too can see through your thick concrete walls

Standing here tall, in all your grace
You emanate hope to me

6. Dance Of Mr. Grumble

[Instrumental]

7. Wake Up - Apartment 122

All These Weird Folks That I Am Seeing
Walking Through Here Like Zombie Beings
Always Doing The Strangest Kind Of Things

Kicking Buttons With Doctor Martins
Doing Love Acts Even With Cousins
Can't They See What Damage
They Are Causing Me?

I Can See Them All Conspiring
Telling Each Other Lies
They Can't See Me

Search Your Heart And Forgive Their Souls
Whatever The Cost Might Be?
You Know It's All A Matter Of Sympathy
But You Don't Have To Take Them
Every Dawn Brings A Brand New Day
And Slowly Works Its Way To Dusk
Will They Ever Manage
To Improve Themselves?"

All These Weird Things That I Am Seeing
Glad I'm Not Like A Human Being.
Losing Temper And Problems With Pms

Landlord's Lying To All Of His Clients
Right Back At Him
They're Scheming Bad Things
Ted Is Honest,
A Fool Who Just Can't See The Truth

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

All These Weird Things That I Am Seeing
Glad I'm Not Like A Human Being.
Losing Temper And Problems With Pms

Landlord's Lying To All Of His Clients
Right Back At Him
They're Scheming Bad Things
Ted Is Honest,
A Fool Who Just Can't See The Truth

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

8. Manipulator - Barbeque

Can't You See I Don't Want This?
To See, Your Eyes Must Be Open
You See Your Own Truth In My Kiss
You're Feeding Me, You're Kissing Me, You're Tasting Me
Manipulator!

These Four Walls Like A Prison
They're Closing In Every Minute
I Know My Life Is Your Passion
You're Mocking Me, You're Blocking Me, You're Sucking Me
Manipulator!

It Is Time To Wake Up
You Think You Know What I Want But You Are Wrong
You Can't Hold Me Forever
Some Day Mr. Grumble Will Set Me Free
How I Long For That Day, Then I'll Be Gone

She Won't Let You Go
No One Really Knows Where I Am

Get Out Of Here, You've Gone Too Far
My Life's A Mess, Locked In Your Jar
Get Off My Back, This Is My Life
Get Off My Track, My Soul's Still Mine

Do You Think That She Bought It?
The Message's Clear Like Crystal
I Saw A Ripple On Her Eyelid
She Is Like A Tiger, Looking At A Bloody Peace Of Meat

I Don't Think I Can Face Her
This Time I'm King Or Loser
As True As Her Name Is Amber
She Will Leave Or She Will Kill Me, Either Way I'm...

It Is Time To Wake Up
You Think You Know What I Want But You Are Wrong
You Can't Hold Me Forever
Some Day Mr. Grumble Will Set Me Free
How I Long For That Day, Then I'll Be Gone

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

9. A Loaded Situation. Surveying Room

[Instrumental]

10. The Observer

Things That I See, When Weeping So Free
Peeking With Just One Eye, I See When You Cry
Snapshots From Your Bedroom, Pleasing Them All
No, You're Not Alone

Trapped Since I Came, You're All In A Frame
Feeding Me With Your Time, This Must Be A Crime
Seeking In The Stairways, Fear To Be Seen
No, You're Not Alone

This Isn't A Dream, Stay As A Team
Not An Illusion, Pictures Of You Too

Time For A Break, It's Too Much To Take
Strobing Bright In This Pile Put All In A File
Will Someone Reveal Me Please, I Am Drained
Oh, I'm So Alone

[Repeat]

11. The Cause

I Tell Myself That I Wasn't That Involved
And Put Away Problems That Are Not Solved
Still I Recall What We Did That Day
It's Clear Why You Ran Away
My Conscience's Gone

I Get The Feeling That I Am Not Alone
A Glance At The Wall, Did I See Him Frown
I Feel He's Aware Of What We've Done
Destroying His Favorite Son
He Read My Mind

I Will Not Ever Forget A Smile That Dies
The Look On Your Face When You Took Our Lies
But You Were The One To Blame
I Cannot Stand The Shame

I Guess He Sees Me Through
Feel Him From Above
How He's Starting From The Ceiling

Ted, I Let Her Use You Too
Nothing She Said Was True
What Have I Done To You?

You Sat Beside Me, We Talked About Your Style
I Mentioned The Garden, That Made You Smile
A Lie From This House Was The Latest Trend
I Said That I Was Your Friend
Please Rewind

I Think He's Coming To Get Me, Can't You See
A Whisper At Night - You Will Not Be Free
Reminding Me Of What We Did That Day
It's Clear Why You Left That Away
I've Lost Control

A Memory Of A Smile That Died
How Do You Think That I Feel Inside?
But You Were The One To Blame
She Won Her Stupid Game

[Chorus]

[Repeat]

12. The Effect

From The Stairs, Through The Door,
With The Wind
A Sudden Atmosphere
Woke Her Up And Made Her Realize
A Dream It Wasn't, No That Was A Call

From A Floor, Through The Wall,
To Her Room
A Desperate Cry Arrived
Stuck In Bed, She Could Not Move At All
She Wished The Dream
Was Still Inside Her Head

And Everyone Knew Who He Was
But No One Did A Thing
And The Building Appealed
There's No Time To Be Selfish Tonight

Your Question Would Be Why
But Now I Say Goodbye
Figure This Out For Yourself, Let's Try
The Answer's In The Sky
This Is My Final Day
And Soon I'll Fly Away
Something To Learn
You Might See That Soon
What Did Have To Say?

Remember Me Now You Will
The Memory Of Me Will Not Fade Away..."

Could He Feel What They Thought,
Had He Known
They Did Not Care At All
Was His Crying All Because Of That?
Who Is He To Bother Them At Night?

Morning Came, Brought No Light, To A Life
That Had Begun To Fall
He Would Never Walk This Earth Again
His Final Words Are Still Inside Their Minds

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

13. Summary

Close Your Eyes
You're Not Alone
Remember Your Size
Can Somebody Hear Your Moan?
Like That Wall Could Protect You
Rings On Water, Close Description
Be Aware My Son,
Cause Your Hate Is All Around

What You Hear
That Could Be True
That's Why I Fear
I See What Your Mind Construe

I Do Not Judge You, I Only Observe
You're Still My Soul
But I'm Wailing Inside
When My Spirits Try To Hide
It's Time To Wake Up, Time To Make A Change

I Can't Deny
That You Make Me Cry
If I Ask You To Decide
Would You Choose My Side?
To Be Honest, You Are No One I Can Trust

What Your Mind Will Radiate
Someone Will Find
And Spirits Illuminate
But Your Thoughts Aren't Happy
What You're Spreading Through My Organs
Will Reverberate
And Soon Affect You Fate

What You Think, Is Energy
Remember The Link
And How It Recoils On Me

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

14. Outro

Now You've Heard A Tale Been Told
It's Up To You, Could This Be True
