I know you come here, and that you come here alone.
You know where the lost are, and where the time goes.
You always remember, even though it’s been years.
Wine bottles are emptied, to be filled up with tears.
They’re fading in the arcade,
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
They’re dancing in the arcade,
Fading in the hallways,
No one is ever really gone.
You hold the time, dear. So the moments won’t pass.
Familiar faces, each more than the last.
The moments you spend here, with the last of your peers.
Wine bottles are emptied, as they wash down your fears.
They’re fading in the arcade,
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
They’re dancing in the arcade,
Fading in the hallways,
No one is ever really gone.
No one is ever really gone.
They're in the arcade, playing on.
No one is ever really gone.
They're in the arcade, playing on.
[I know you come here].
They’re fading in the arcade,
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
They’re dancing in the arcade,
Fading in the hallways,
No one is ever really gone.
No one is ever really gone.
They’re fading in the arcade,
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
They’re in the arcade, playing on.
They’re dancing in the arcade, fading in the hallways.
The memories of the nights, the mirrors and the lights.
No one is ever really gone.
They’re fading in the arcade,
Dancing in the hallways tonight.
They’re in the arcade, playing on.
They’re dancing in the arcade,
Fading in the hallways,
No one is ever really gone.
They're in the arcade, playing on.
No one is ever really gone.
They're in the arcade, playing on.

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
A pair of beautifully ghostly songs from this Philly group that set haunting and mysterious melodies amidst drifting rivers of electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2022

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
