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
