about

This is our title track, it's about how we play the roles of different characters for different people in our lives. Meaning nobody ever truly knows the person standing in front of them and making our true identity an identity in flux.

Please buy our music to help us continue to do what we love.

lyrics

The disco falls into oblivion
Trying to find the light before we get drunk again
So hold on tight but don't hold on to me
My blood runs toxic everytime that we speak
So speak aloud but please tell me your truth
I don't have time for no second hand news
Secondhand people they're selling for cheap
I'll only take new 'coz I'm playing for keeps
Can't you hear me talking now selling for cheap

This is a start of a beautiful thing
Walking in darkness in search of trouble
But trouble's attracted to trouble alike
You can run for shelter but it be like
Knock knock knock knockin'
Knock knock knock knock knockin'
Knock knock knock knock knockin'
Knock knockin'
Knockin' it down

Oh, it's worse than an affliction
This is more
It's more than just a connection
It's not easy to see
It's locked in your doors of perception
A cold turkey of addiction
We're just acting like we're
Characters in fiction
Yeah we're characters in fiction

This isn't just an excuse
It's nothing personal or a kind of abuse
But for as many perople that I've known
As many characters are ready to show up
And declare I'm the one that walks like this
And that talks like this and that sings like this
And that thinks like this oh
Ain't this life a trip
'Til the wheel turns the screen clicks
Here it is, my new influence
coming to knock knock knock knock knockin'
Knock knock knock knock knockin'
Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knockin'
Knockin' it down

Oh, it's worse than an affliction
This is more
It's more than just a connection
It's not easy to see
It's locked in your doors of perception
A cold turkey of addiction
We're just acting like we're
Characters in fiction
Yeah we're characters...

So tired of playing
Playing like a bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

about

Characters In Fiction Madrid, Spain

We are imaginary.
We play the roles we want people to think we are and that we think are expected of us.
When we are only truly ourselves when we listen long enough to recognize the actor in front of us.
This is our music.
