Lyrics

Actor Attractor

You ask is life a fantasy?

I know I can‘t fool emptiness

Script says I don‘t win

Split screen hides a real life

The world screams out for 'ACTION!'

I have to ask who I am tonight

Forever we can give to the limit

Forever we can live to the limit

We'll play who we want

I know I carry the emptiness

Lost our way in our scene

Find the way or we will fade away

The world screams out for 'ACTION!'

And I have to ask who I am tonight

Shame, lights, all out, gimme gimme

Split screen

Hide a real life

Forever we can live to the limit

Forever we could give to the limit

No more, no more

No more, no more

No more, no more

No more, no more

Forever we can give to the limit

Forever we can live to the limit

The world screams out for 'ACTION!'

I have to ask who I am tonight

Forever we can give to the limit

Forever we can live to the limit

The world screams out for 'ACTION!'

I have to ask who I am tonight

I have to ask who I am tonight

I have to ask who I am tonight
