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.
