Lyrics

VERSE 1
Shadow and silk, a name no one knows,
A face in the mirror that changes and goes,
Crossing the wire where the cold rivers run,
Soft chaos for breakfast, a knife in the sun,
They trained out the trembling, the doubt and the fear,
Deep somewhere inside there's a voice I still hear,
Whispering soft through the fog -- are you still here?

CHORUS
I'm dying to live on the edge of the flame,
Playing the world like a dangerous game,
One breath from the darkness, one step from the fall,
Dying to live -- or not living at all.

VERSE 2
Geneva to Cairo, Havana to Rome,
A suitcase of aliases, nowhere called home,
She touched me in Paris, I burned and I fled,
Some things are more hurting than bullets and lead,
The mission's the compass, completion the cure,
But cures have a way of not making you whole,
Cold ice is a costume that's freezes your soul.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I've loved and I've lost along the way,
Faces that faded like smoke into grey,
But one stays with me in the silence of night,
Her name like a wound that never heals right,

CHORUS
