"Man On A Wire" Lyrics

I looked into the mirror, what did I see?
There was a big black beast looking back at me
You looked into my eyes, what did you see?
You saw a big black beast, magnified in me

Like a man on a wire, I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark, desperate for love
Like a man on a wire

I was like a volcano, just waiting to explode
But I have been resurrected, reborn, and I have been transformed
I was a green eyed monster, could you tell I was afraid?
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face

Like a man on a wire, I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark, desperate for love
Like a man on a wire, I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark, desperate for love
Like a man on a wire

That's right
Yeah, I see you sitting around
With your wristwatch
And your white collared shirt
I see you hoping to watch me fail
Uh uh
You're hoping to watch me fail
Uh uh
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face

Like a man on a wire, I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark, desperate for love
Like a man on a wire, I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark, desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
