Of Monsters And Men - The Actor Lyrics

Of Monsters And Men Lyrics

"The Actor"

Oh, that's it
What an entrance
What a stunt I pulled
The thoughts they smash against my skull
I'm in deep
Lipstick on my teeth
A little on my cheek
I think I lost my sense of humor

I remember
We were waiting
Like two kids in the parking lot
Keep it separated
Is it enough that it's breaking my heart
I forget I'm masquerading
We were laughing and then I was not
Keep it separated
Is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Ooh

Oh, my heart
What a horror show
With her crooked nose
Says odds are ever in my favor
Could this be
My magnum opus
More like bullshit
My grandiose tumor?

I remember
We were waiting
Like two kids in the parking lot
Keep it separated
Is it enough that it's breaking my heart
I forget I'm masquerading
It was snowing and then I was not
Keep it separated
Is it enough that it's breaking my heart?

I admit, I'm a bit, frustrated
And I'm tired, and I lost the plot
Keep it separated
Is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Is it enough that I'm playing the part?
Is it enough that it's breaking my heart?
