I am the cage: my ribs are tin
And there’s a heart that flutters within
She’s singing songs; it’s a little game
Their melody’s never twice the same
Did you know birds and metal outlive the likes of you?
Did you know from this corner I see everything you do?
A television, bright and smug
My blood is pumped in through the plug
I watch with cathode ray tube eyes
As every night some of you dies
Do you see your reflection when my glass is dark?
Did you know that I dance inside when you ignite the spark?
Do you know that the world around you is alive?
The photographs you burn, the dirt on which you drive
Everything you’ve ever seen
And everything you’ve ever dreamed
And everything everything everything
That’s in between
We are the buildings you call homes
Our dreams spin pages into tomes
We talk with smokestacks, breathe through bricks
Amidst the buzzing and the mix
Do you know someday we will fall and be forgotten
When soil is sleeping and our feet go soft and rotten?
I am your anger so devout,
I wait for you to call me out
And like a spaniel where you go
I’m maddeningly near, you’re all I know
Do you feel every breath of mine inside of yours?
I’m waiting lovingly to lash out from all fours
Do you know that the world inside you is alive?
Your disbelief and each excuse that you contrive
Everything you’ve ever seen
And everything you’ve ever dreamed
And everything everything everything
That’s in between

This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service.

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
This hammering slab of dark techno comes to wax at last, with its deep grooves and body-wrecking beats as potent as ever. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 3, 2020
That devastating and frightening atmosphere is mesmerizing. Probably the only DWIFH album I fell in love with. Expiring Time, The Unclean, Threadbare, Downpour, At Rest - these all are my favorites. Val Levitsky
