1. THE HUNGER

In a world of make-believe
Off my game with heavy feet
It is getting hard to breathe
Carry on now
My skin is not fitting me
Nothing’s really what it seems
Yearn for solitude and dreams
Hold the line now

Stumbling in a raving dance
Trying to follow their commands
Bowing to demanding hands
Let me be
Like a puppet in their play
Bound by invisible chains
Rushing slowly against time
Set me free

Deluded by my cotton candy skies
They are tearing, grabbing, pulling, pushing me from every side
A weaver of their dreams to feed upon
Everybody wants something from me
The hunger lives on

Sleeping on uneven ground
Shouting higher with no sound
Cornered in a circle round
Carry on now
Stormy days that never end
Tension’s running in my veins
Panic time and time again
Hold the line now

Stumbling in a raving dance
Trying to follow their commands
Bowing to demanding hands
Set me free

Deluded by my cotton candy skies
They are tearing, grabbing, pulling, pushing me from every side
A weaver of their dreams to feed upon
Everybody wants something from me
The hunger lives on

Hiding behind a smile and a lie
I’m in pieces
Wondering if it’s meant to be
Is such a life my destiny?
Seasons are changing as I’m slowly fading
Is this my fate?

Deluded by my cotton candy skies
They are tearing, grabbing, pulling, pushing me from every side
A weaver of their dreams to feed upon
Everybody wants something from me
The hunger lives on

One remote dream away
A quiet space
Slow down, slow down, slow down and catch my breath
Put this chase to rest
Feeling my hand cutting the power lines
Shutting it all down, ruling a blackout
Safe in the dark, here in the underground
Cause when the curtain falls, nothing but silence

Deluded by my cotton candy skies
They are tearing, grabbing, pulling, pushing me from every side

Deluded by my cotton candy skies
They are tearing, grabbing, pulling, pushing me from every side
A weaver of their dreams to feed upon
Everybody wants something from me
The hunger lives on


2. SAFE WORLD

Scared to hear your demons closing in
Steps in the hallway
Mercilessly push you to the edge
Like predator and prey

They fear you
Just because you are different
Something strange within you
Triggers their violence

Broken by their every tear
Trampled by them everywhere
Escape is near

Dive into your safe world
Unfold your hidden powers
And move the stars around
You can fly into your safe world
They can never cross your borders
They can never steal your crown

Staying home alone
You hide away
You cut to numb the pain
Shook up and teary-eyed again
Just wanting it to end

They hurt you
Just because you are different
Something strange within you
Triggers their violence

Broken by their every tear
Trampled by them everywhere
Escape is near

Dive into your safe world
Unfold your hidden powers
And move the stars around
You can fly into your safe world
They can never cross your borders
They can never steal your crown

Dive into your safe world
Unfold your hidden powers
And move the stars around
You can fly into your safe world
They can never cross your borders
They can never steal your crown


3. VIRTUAL LIVES

Ever stop and wonder
About the world around?
The perfect imperfections
And nature's splendour?
And do you see the colours
Of the fading skies?
And do you hear the ocean?
Do you remember?

Crossing red lights
Pushing old ladies aside
Nothing comes between
You and your screen

The wave of make-believe
We're the zombie nations
Scrolling by
Stage the scene
Hunting the 'likes', the fakery
Zombie nations
Living virtual lives

Ever stop and wonder
About the games we played?
Chase and tag and hide-and-seek?
How we surrendered
The late night conversations
Lying face-to-face?
Sharing secrets, smiles and tears
Do you remember?

Crossing red lights
Pushing old ladies aside
Nothing comes between
You and your screen

Imagine being present now
Imagine letting go somehow
Your fear of missing out
Destroys the here and now
Shut it down, look around
Just for a while

Your screen
The wave of make-believe
We're the zombie nations
Scrolling by
Stage the scene
Hunting the 'likes', the fakery
Zombie nations
Living virtual lives


4. THE GIANTS' FALL

Yet again, yet again the small
Gonna suffer and bleed in war
Yet again, yet again the small
In the midst of a storm must forge

In the shadows
They came marching
Yearning to defeat
Found our weakness
Blurred our vision
with their lies and deceit

Gather the troops
Without us, there is no you
We will not bow
We need a riot
We need a showdown

When we stand alone
We are powerless and small
Ooh only if we unite
We’ll see the giants fall

They divided
Spread the silence
Forced us to our knees
Smoke is rising
From our fire
It’s time to break free

We will not bow
We need a riot
We need a showdown

When we stand alone
We are powerless and small
Ooh only if we unite
We’ll see the giants fall

Come let us turn
Against the force
Come let us fight
No matter the cost
So here we are
United in war
Hear us roar


5. INSOMNIA

Rise
Rays of sun will kill the night
In a matter of hours, in time
When has sleeping become a crime
Let me go, let me resign
To my dreams
The unconscious state
My mind is fighting at the sleeping gate
Soon it’s too late, the usual tape
Just let me through

Mind overclocking
Thoughts are flocking
Never ever letting go
Begging please to let me offline
Would you be so kind, save me please
Moon reflections, new injections
Fueling up my mind once again
Will this ever end in time

Every night
Endless fights
There’s no way
To end this game
Insomnia
Every night
Demons by my side
There’s no way out
No escape
Insomnia

Rain
A flood of thoughts keeps me in chains
Whirling around, driving me insane
Please release me from this pain
Within a blink, just let me sink
Under my skin, beneath this state
My mind is fighting at the sleeping gate
What’s the safe word?
My mind is all blurred
Just let me through

Mind overclocking
Thoughts are flocking
Never ever ever letting go
Begging please to let me offline
Would you be so kind,
Save me please
Moon reflections, new injections
Fueling up my mind once again
Will this ever end in time

Every night
Endless fights
There’s no way
To end this game
Insomnia
Every night
Demons by my side
There’s no way out
No escape
Insomnia

At night you’re the thief
Not giving me a chance to breathe
Where lies the hidden key
That will set me free


6. DESTINY

Your destination
Always one step ahead
A million hours, drops of blood,
Sweat and tears spent
Everyday a new goal
Adding more fuel adding coal

What you need is right
beyond the riverside
And you can swim,
But you will struggle
And you’ll fight
When the waves
Are mile high
You’ll keep on pushing
Cause it’s do or die

We strive, we dive
Into the core of art
Always giving all we’ve got
This is our fate
To forge in the shades

Beaten, never broken
Head is up high
You’ll levitate and fly towards
Your destiny
Worn out, yet you’re woken
Never give up
Pursuing your dreams,
Never settle until you reach
Reach your destiny

Every day people
Will try to slow you down
Keep up your pace
And keep your feet on the ground
Occupied by technology
Time is your ultimate enemy

We strive, we dive
Into the core of art
Always giving all we’ve got
This is our fate
To forge in the shades

Beaten, never broken
Head is up high
You’ll levitate and fly towards
Your destiny
Above dirt, above trees
Worn out, yet you’re woken
Never give up
Pursuing your dreams,
Never settle until you reach
Reach your destiny

Beaten, never

Beaten, never broken
Head is up high
You’ll levitate and fly towards
Your destiny
Above dirt, above trees
Worn out, yet you’re woken
Never give up
Pursuing your dreams,
Never settle until you reach
Reach your destiny


7. FLIRTING WITH DEATH

The powder on the table
The dirt inside your mind
And nothing would be able
To stop your way of life
Maybe there’s no tomorrow
And all ends will collide
Until then feel no sorrow
You’re ready for this ride

They all know they’ve lost you
While hard candy’s running

through your veins
Your love affair with death

Run like you mean it,
Fight like you feel it
Every breath could be your last
See no future, see no past
Flirting with death
Love like you mean it,
Dance like you feel it
Euphoric highs they have a price
No regrets in paradise
Living on the edge, flirting with death

Your skin is getting looser
But there’s no time to eat
You’re spending time with uppers
Or downers as you please
Your time is getting closer,
Burned candle in both ends
Your sober days are over,
Like family and friends

They all know they’ve lost you
While hard candy’s running
Through your veins
Your love affair with death

Run like you mean it,
Fight like you feel it
Every breath could be your last
See no future, see no past
Flirting with death
Love like you mean it,
Dance like you feel it
Euphoric highs they have a price
No regrets in paradise
Living on the edge, flirting with death

Walking on a tightrope

thinking you’re immortal
These chemicals

Are not your friends
Turn back before 

It is too late
Putting everything on the line

Laughing at the danger
Tainting every blood cell
Nobody thought
You’d end like this
Chasing everlasting bliss
Floating high above it all
Till you fall…

Run like you mean it,
Fight like you feel it
Every breath could be your last
See no future, see no past
Flirting with death
Love like you mean it,
Dance like you feel it
Euphoric highs they have a price
No regrets in paradise
Living on the edge, flirting with death


8. YOUR MEMORY LIVES ON

Sprinkled your stardust all over me
Showed me the things I could achieve
Cheered me up on sad days
Always had my back
Forever I’m grateful

Growing into a tree
Above all the walls
A place where I am free
I am fully grown
Independent, a queen
On top of my throne

Light up my world
Make time disappear
Feel safe when you’re here
Forever changed
And when you’ll be gone
Your memory lives on
In me

Your words of courage embracing me
Strength to pursue my own dreams
Blood runs in my veins, your legacy
It’s my time to sow my own seeds

Growing into a tree
Above all the walls
A place where you’ll be free
You’re soon fully grown
Independent, a king
On top of your throne

Light up my world
Make time disappear
Feel safe when you’re here
Forever changed
And when I’ll be gone
My memory lives on

Seeing you grow
All the challenges the life will throw
At you now
I’m here in your shade
You gotta set your sails
Take a leap and write your own tales
As you go
In time I’ll decay

Light up my world
Make time disappear
Feel safe when you’re here
Forever changed
And when I’ll be gone
My memory lives on
In you

Light up my world
Make time disappear
Feel safe when you’re here
Forever changed
And when I’ll be gone
My memory lives on
In you


9. DEAD ZONE

Prayers in the hour late
Darkness within every kind
You carve in stone our human fate
Weaving a carpet of lies

It’s a time of confusion
We need to fight it
Turn back before it’s too late

Chomp into the bone
Leaving disaster wherever you go
Feeling no regrets, no sorrow
Dig the grave of man
The bloody money in your greedy hands
You will leave a worldwide dead zone

Race to point of no return
Never a second to waste
You seal the deal with no concern
Anything goes in your game

It’s a time of confusion
We need to fight it
Turn back before it’s too late

Chomp into the bone
Leaving disaster wherever you go
Feeling no regrets, no sorrow
Dig the grave of man
The bloody money in your greedy hands
You will leave a worldwide dead zone

Earth is burning now,
There’s nowhere to run
You cannot escape the truth
And you will go down with all of us,
Fight for your life like us
Cause this world is your home too

Chomp into the bone
Leaving disaster wherever you go
Feeling no regrets, no sorrow
Dig the grave of man
The bloody money in your greedy hands
You will leave a worldwide dead zone

Chomp into the bone
Leaving disaster wherever you go
Feeling no regrets, no sorrow
Dig the grave of man
The bloody money in your greedy hands
You will leave a worldwide dead zone

We all need to fight it
Stop them from leaving
A worldwide dead zone


10. WHO WE ARE

Did their whispers tear you down
Talk behind your back
Stare and freeze you out
Don’t let them get to you
Did they troll you hard online
Shout and call you names
Mock you for your size
Don’t let them get to you

We’re all made from the same stardust
So beautiful with our different lights and shapes
Shine your light and be proud
Cause what a bore if we were all the same

Here’s to every outcast
Here’s to all the different
Let’s celebrate diversity,
Who we are
Here’s to every colour
Here’s to every gender
We all have the right to be
Who we are

Did they push you around
Ignore you, leave you out
Turn their back and laugh
Don’t let them bring you down
Did they scorn you, make you cry
Poke you, tell you lies
Taunt you with your style
Don’t let them bring you down

We’re all made from the same stardust
So beautiful with our different lights and shapes
Shine your light and be proud
Cause what a bore if we were all the same

Here’s to every outcast
Here’s to all the different
Let’s celebrate diversity,
Who we are
Here’s to every colour
Here’s to every gender
We all have the right to be
Who we are

You’re not alone
Strangers waiting to be friends
Embrace what makes you different
You, stand your ground
You’re perfect like the way you are
Worthy just the way you are
Freedom to be just like
Freedom to look just like we want
There’s room for everyone
Freedom to act just like
Freedom to love just who we want
As long as nobody gets hurt, who cares?

Here’s to every outcast
Here’s to all the different
Let’s celebrate diversity,
Who we are
Here’s to every colour
Here’s to every gender
We all have the right to be
Who we are


11. MY NOTHINGNESS

This itchy feeling
In my hands
I need to buy and spend
To cover my demands
This new and precious thing
Fills up my soul
Until tomorrow
Get rid of all the old

And this eternal chase
For instant happiness
One-minute satisfaction
Affecting my every action
Surely new things will

Fill my nothingness inside
Make me feel alright
Let me use and toss away
Tomorrow there’s a brand new day
Fill my void inside

This craving feeling
I must succeed
In search of someone new
To cover all my needs
This new exciting one
Fulfilling all my hopes
Until tomorrow
Swipe left and let it go

And this eternal chase
For instant happiness
One-minute satisfaction
Affecting my every action
Surely new things will

Fill my nothingness inside
Make me feel alright
Let me use and toss away
Tomorrow there’s a brand new day
Fill my void inside

What if I don’t buy and own?
What if I spent time alone?
What if all illusions washed away?
Don’t wanna feel, feel my nothingness in

Fill my nothingness inside
Make me feel alright
Let me use and toss away
Tomorrow there’s a brand new day
Fill my void inside
Make me feel alright
Let me use and toss away
Tomorrow there’s a brand new day
Fill my void inside


12. DEMONS IN PARADISE

In early dawn you see her move, like a queen
Like all the answers to your prayers, stuck in a dream
Breathe in her intoxicating smile

With golden hair, lips so sweet, feel her near
Her stirring touch, the velvet voice stroking your ear
So sweet promises and fairy-tales

You’re playing hard with fire
Walking on thin ice, she’s evil in disguise
Cause she will take you higher
Just to let go and watch you fall

Welcome demons in Paradise
To her it’s just a game of beautiful lies
Warnings, red lights, you close your eyes
You just wanna live this beautiful lie

Angel eyes and devil’s mind, watch your back
She’ll plant a bomb inside your heart with no regrets
Her ways leave you helpless, wanting more

You’ve let her in where it hurts you the most
It’s all pretend, scam and lies down to the bone
So sweet and deceitful like morphine

You’re playing hard with fire
Walking on thin ice, she’s evil in disguise
Cause she will take you higher
Just to let go and watch you fall

Welcome demons in Paradise
To her it’s just a game of beautiful lies
Warnings, red lights, you close your eyes
You just wanna live this beautiful lie

You’re playing hard with fire
Walking on thin ice, 
she’s evil in disguise
Cause she will take you higher
Just to let go 
and watch you fall

Tonight you’re eating from her hand
But you’re not her only man
You think this is what you want
You think what you’ve found is love
Spellbound and lost
Tonight you’ll see her Wonderland
But you don’t know it won’t last
You believe her smoke and mirrors
Smitten by the lust and shivers
Drifting away now, drifting away now, drifting away now

Welcome demons in Paradise
To her it’s just a game of beautiful lies
Warnings, red lights, you close your eyes
You just wanna live this beautiful lie

Welcome demons in Paradise
To her it’s just a game of beautiful lies
Warnings, red lights, you close your eyes
You just wanna live this beautiful lie
