Time goes by and things change

What we held strong yesterday is slipping off our hands Looking away, we feed the lie

But you never miss the water till the well runs dry

And the bill is gettin’ higher Each day that we spend in denial We tiptoe on a wire

Above a world on fire

It’s burning (burning down) It’s burning (burning high) As we fake still believin’ It’s burning (burning down) Like the sun (burning high) And we just watch it burn

The less we try, the more we fail

We keep playin’ down the truth to prettify the tale Waitin’ on a first step to follow

We weigh down the cross we’ll bear tomorrow

And the bill is gettin’ higher Each day that we spend in denial We hold on to a wire

Above a world on fire

It’s burning (burning down) It’s burning (burning high) As we fake still believin’ It’s burning (burning down) Like the sun (burning high) And we just watch it burn It’s burning

It’s burning It’s burning It’s burning It’s burning...
