Wrath and rage, despair, desire
Slipping left and sliding right
Walking on a skywire
Could have, would have, may have, might
You're on your own until first light
No one to help you, save you now
Try to fake it, try to fight
You must make it out alive somehow

Walking barefoot through the fire
Hold on to the lifeline tight
The prick and poke of every briar
Causes terror to ignite
Every lick of red and white
A drop of sweat upon the brow
Burning, burning, soul alight
You must make it out alive somehow

Never ever trust a liar
Each and every word a slight
Tongue is black, a flick'ring pyre
Eyes are blazing, blazing bright
Falsehoods are a catching blight
Never break a solemn vow
Take to water, take to flight
You must make it out alive somehow

Deception sparks, bark worse than bite
Silence can all but save you now
Tiptoe, tiptoe through the night
You must make it out alive somehow
