-- Scenes from the life of our Millennium Actress Photos framed up on the wa--lls People will stop her to ask for an autograph
-- Faces look up as she stares through the window Wondering which way the rain will fall Would you rather be someone that no one knows And no one cares about? No, no one cares about
-- Cuts ever soft the frames of the reel Can’t save your face from the shame you must feel And even though you’re our Millennium Actress All that you’ve acted in All that you love still belongs to someone else but not you To someone else but not you
The beasts that you ran from when you took to the country Have found a new reason to hunt you down The walls of your home won’t protect you from being caught now
-- Don’t let our demons divide us alone The flowers have wilted, the tea has soured You were always the one in the poster that I loved and I adored That I loved and I adored
-- Peer through the lens at the end of a rope Hasn’t endeared me to this fake new world You say you’re all actors, but have you learned how to act calm?
You think that I’m someone you feel that you know Outside of my face in the photograph The Millennium Actress that died long before you were born Long before you were born
-- Don’t let the light that bleeds through the film Trick you to think that I’m here and I’m real Cause even though I’m your Millennium Actress All that I’ve acted in, all that I love still belongs to someone else but not me To someone else but not me Someone else but not me Someone else but not me
