lyrics

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
