Figurant. n./ a supernumerary actor who has little or nothing to say.

lyrics

There's a murder of crows in a row along dead tree street.
They'll tell you you're weak, they'll tell you you can't compete.
They've left me tying myself in knots again,
try to count down the hour of sleep,
when whispering words that I've overheard works better than counting sheep.

We never change,
but we never stay the same,
and everything that we say,
we say with such certainty.

Everyone at some stage in their life,
sees themselves and they think they've got it right,
but they tell me I don't want to walk down that road,
when they say they know exactly where it goes.

We never change,
but we never stay the same,
and everything that we say
is about how different we are from the rest of the world.

They say it must mean more than this,
they say their life it must mean more than this.
And they say it's hard to resist.
To hold out open palms, and not to make a fist.

When there's a murder of crows in a row
along this dead end street,
and everything that they tell me,
is about how different they are

From the rest of the world.

(they take themselves so seriously)
