constrained by mind
and tamed by thoughts
afraid of getting maimed by
feeling insecure
and day by day it's harder to push on through
these barriers and bars
were built to last

after all we're just the same
seekers finders lovers liars
strangers to a life
finding out the reasons why

you're the fuel i'm the fire
counterparts in crime
and strangers to a life
maybe burnt but not devoured

you feel the heat
you'd ride the breeze
but there's the concrete weight of
failure on your feet
and day by day it's harder to understand
why there's so many dead-end streets
in this maze

after all we're just the same
seekers finders lovers liars
strangers to a life
finding out the reasons why

you're the fuel i'm the fire
counterparts in crime
and strangers to a life
maybe burnt but not devoured

you feel the heat
but day by day it's getting harder to find a way
to push on through and escape the maze

feel the heat inside you
break the barriers and bars
