Previously released on "For The Mighty Boo" but included because it was written during the same sessions and fits so well.
lyrics
In the dark there hides a mystery
I cannot see
There's something crawling up the side of me
And creeping up the stairs is agony
As I can feel a pair of eyes are staring back at me
It's too late to hide the fear inside
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
The place where I will die
There's a voice I hear inside of me
It's says "I could, but I don't think
I don't think I should"
It says that "I could take a chance and see"
It summons me
With visions of my fantasies
It's too late to hide the fear inside
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
It does no good to cry
And now you die
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
Up there in the dark
Now there's a jaded heart
A solemn start
And a thousand ways to fall
Nevermind what I can't resolve
I'll figure it out
And in the dark I'm torn apart
My heart is violence and greed
And now the shadows are
Surrounding me
It's too late to hide the fear inside
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
It does no good to cry
And now you die
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs

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
