Playing with Fire

It’s a game that we play with each other
Where silence can cover our eyes,
Where truth dwells in shadows, secrets abound,
And reality wears a disguise.
We both perform with no net below us
As we prance across the high wire.
Never a thought about our tragic ending,
We both know we’re playing with fire.

Playing with fire…
          The flames growing stronger.
Playing with fire…
          The song never ends.
Filled with desire
          And fueled by a hunger
Til the truth disappears in the wind
While we’re playing with fire.

Can’t say just when it all started,
When we began telling these lies.
But it’s left us both broken-hearted
With neither one taking the prize.
But that doesn’t stop us from singing,
Pleading our case to the choir,
But it doesn’t help because we both know
That we’re only playing with fire.

Playing with fire…
          The flames growing stronger.
Playing with fire…
          The song never ends.
Filled with desire
          And fueled by a hunger
Til the truth disappears in the wind
While we’re playing with fire.
