Lyrics

Charades

Get me out of here I don't wanna dance no more Used to be so clear Now my vision’s so obscure Lately, I've just been sleeping for days Chasing my dreams the easy way Ain't that a kick in the face? You’re such a sad cliché Now I'm sure It's too late Made the best part of me someone else's gain And I'm torn A charade Of a life I can't reclaim Hey you, you're finally awake I've got a question for you Is this still the path you’d choose? Bit off much more than you could chew Look what you’ve got yourself into And you've got no excuse Yeah, you’ve got no excuse Wanted to steal the show Until I made a fool of myself But if I let this go I'm the same as everybody else Now I'm sure It's too late Made the best part of me someone else’s gain And I'm torn A charade Of a life I can't reclaim I got a question for you What do I want? Who am I within the core? The shattered ruins of a vision board And if I make the illusion of a choice Will you still hear my voice? Now I'm sure It's too late Made the best part of me someone else's gain And I'm torn A charade Can I start all over again? Now I'm sure It's too late Made the best part of me someone else's gain And I'm torn A charade Of a life I can't reclaim Now I make my choice Can you hear my voice? Can you hear me? Will you hear my voice?
