Lyrics
Charade
Sitting on the edge of time
Cigarette burning, drink by my side
Letting my life breathe
Opening doors
Living by my creed, I've given it all
Gonna lay back and let the water wash me clean
Is it the fear trapped in you of me
That makes you want to lie?
Is it the questions with no answers
That blind you from the light?
So many ways we will pay
As we steal what others crave
Betting our lives on this charade
Chorus -
As we talk through this disguise x 4
Standing in the courts as one
Wrapped in tongues of fire
Cleansing the blood inside we speak opening eyes
Is it the wind that washes over you
That calms the fears of being needed
Who claims the fears of being needed
Who wants the fears of being needed
Who lost the will to be needed
Silence all the lies
So many ways we will pay
As we steal what others crave
Betting our lives on this charade
Chorus -
As we talk through this disguise x 4
Is there a mask that conceals our identity?
Will this mask unveil our greed?
Are we meant to be sublime?
Know the answers all the time?
Bring back to life what died within us
These answers we must find
From the questions that we hide
So many times, so many lives
As we hunger for some pride
All we do is drown in lies
Chorus -
As we talk through this disguise x 4
