Fire Escape (Commentary)

We are the desperate ones looking for the mark
We are the lonely ones left out here in the dark
We bought our tickets but we don't have a seat
And now we are just slaves to the beat
We are the tired ones tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for the words we can't repeat
Don't mean to scare you but it's getting too warm
I think I'm gonna move to the door

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We're on fire but we can't feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape

Oh oh oh oh

Gather around my friends
Let's try not to pretend
There is a war between the cold out there and the fire within
I know that we're alive, I know that we can dive
Right into the thick of it

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape

I don't wanna fill my body
With drugs I can't even name
I'm tired of feeling the same
I wanna feel something

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We're on fire don't you feel
We were made to be more than inches away
Everybody out the fire escape

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape
