Acting: On-campus Television Lyrics - Singles - The Faint

campus is getting bigger they are working on it all the time 

Acting on the tv 

i can see their faces 

red alert, the siren's loud, the drafted are all coming back 

this job takes dedication 

when things start with no beginning 

it doesn't mean that they aren't true 

as the current through the atlas 

nips the wrist with a fork through it 

half the battles fueled with hate 

"many loathsome fights were sacred!" 

shout the crew who hold their swatches 

they paint on the set and cry 

ice is plastic enough to try to sculpt wiht it 

the color curdles and waves drip down 

and i'm still thinking about the time a scene takes them 

the dormitories are awful quiet 

acting on the tv 

and he's not pretending 

i'm convinced that there's not something else beneath 

the pixeled screen 

an army edit 

the set was finished last 

ice is plastic enough 

to try to sculpt with it 

color curdles and waves drip down 

i'm still thinking about the time a scene takes them 

the dormitories are awful quiet 

and these swollen eyes 

and static lens 

they blink when there's nothing but tv 

we beg for it 

to calm us down 

and believe that it's real what they're doing 

these swollen eyes 

and static lenses 

they blink on and off and off and on
