Red Zone (Acoustic)

Red zone, no one’s safe
Thousands lonely people
In their own crystal case
We reach out to grab a fragment of reality
We grope in the dark
Looking for reassurance
We cling to our gods
But they’ve gone for good
Not listening to our prayers
Freedom has never been so binding
I see the light
We’re gonna rise again
Holding hands
When the darkness is far away
Nobody’s stronger than us when we join
We’ll overcome the challenge with pride
I see the light
Distant, tired, outcasts
There is no relief left
And when tensions rise
Can't trust anyone
They’re coming to take us
Freedom has never been so blinding
I see the light
We’re gonna rise again
Holding hands
When the darkness is far away
Nobody’s stronger than us when we join
We’ll overcome the challenge with pride
I see the light
If only we realized how strong we are
That the power’s already in our hands
Ready to be shared
Freedom has never been so handy
I see the light
We’re gonna rise again
Holding hands
When the darkness is far away
Nobody’s stronger than us when we join
We’ll overcome the challenge with pride
I see the light

Another day, another deceit
Another notch on the wall of this captivity
Empty shell living a self-built lie
He doesn’t feel fear
He doesn’t feel…
Pay the price and get what you want
“How can I satisfy you today?”
Beauty will fade, but not for today
He doesn’t feel shame
He doesn’t feel…
He built his body like a castle
A beautiful facade, rotten foundations
And still he cannot lift his own pain
Which slowly erodes…
Spotlights on a dirty roulette
It's raining gold, it's raining tears
But nobody sees them
It's not his face they’re looking at
No makeup needed, trading online virtues
It feels alive
Frame of frames, how long will it take?
Love has never been sold so cheaply
Only the razor will get to his soul
Drinking the life flowing from his veins
He built his body like a fortress
A beautiful facade, inside just ashes
And still he cannot lift his own pain
Which slowly erodes…
Spotlights on a dirty roulette
It's raining gold, it's raining tears
But nobody sees them
It's not his face they’re looking at
No makeup needed, trading online virtues
It feels alive
How long can opulence be mistaken with happiness?
At the end of day
The weight of this void, the wreck of this life
Are shattering him down
Spotlights on a dirty roulette
It's raining gold, it's raining tears
But nobody sees them
It's not his face they’re looking at
No makeup needed, trading online virtues
It feels alive

Earthquake (Acoustic)

Tainted night, I can’t sleep
I feel the dark is smothering me
Stuck on this cold soil
I can't breathe and drown in the dark
While my mind falls apart
My whole world is crashing in
(But I can no longer escape)
Echoes of a melody
(That no one will listen again)
Wounds are still open
Burning out loud
Memories won't ever fade out
Rough black night, I can’t dream
Pain and dark are suffocating me
All my fears torture me
And I know I won’t get out of it
The Earth is quaking
I can't breathe and no one's around
It's so cold inside and I can't hear you calling my name
My whole world is crashing in
(And I can no longer escape)
Echoes of a melody
(That no one will listen again)
There’s no hand to dry my tears
(I sink deeper into despair)
You will never hear me scream
(And no one will listen again)
Wounds are still open
Burning out loud
Memories won't ever fade out
Stuck on this cold soil
I can't breathe and drown in the dark
While my mind falls apart
My whole world is crashing in
(And I can no longer escape)
Echoes of a melody
(That no one will listen again)
Wounds are still open
Burning out loud
Memories won't ever fade out

Take a Bow (Acoustic)

I wait with my heart beating madly
Before a show I know too well
You rule the stage in every moment
And I fall under your spell
I still believe your cruel deception
While you don’t even try to hide
I try to look away but I can't help
But yearn and scream inside
You can make me cry if you want me to
You can make me die if you want me to
All that I am is in your hands
I am again the intended victim
Alone, awaiting your torment
You rage on my exhausted mind
Until you know there’s nothing left
You can make me cry if you want me to
You can make me die if you want me to
All that I am spoils in your hands
This is your moment now
This is your moment now
Once again your lies will save us all
You can make me cry if you want me to
You can make me die
All that I am is in your hands
Don’t pretend that I mean something to you
I’m here to kill your time when you’re tired or bored
All that I am ruins in your hands

Weak (Acoustic)

Are you suffering?
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Maybe now your pain rips you even more
You're my daily pill of love and guilt
I'm weak to love you
Weak to let you go
Weak 'cause I wasn't able to give my soul to you
We tried to say farewell
I'm drowning in my hell
Don't leave me waiting here
Can't feel my soul down here
Just let me breathe once again
I saw you cry so many times
And shared your same pain
I wish I could promise you'll get better soon
But I just know that everytime we've been together
I've lost myself in you
We tried to say farewell
I'm drowning in my hell
Don't leave me waiting here
Can't feel my soul down here
Just let me breathe once again
I'm too weak, my love
But I want it more
I stole your heart and soul now
And I can’t let you go
You smiled, I fell
We're crawling in our hell
Don't leave me waiting here
I feel your pain down here
We tried to say farewell
I'm drowning in my hell
Don't leave me waiting here
Can't feel my soul down here
Just let me breathe once
