Charades

[Verse 1] I've never owned a camera, the pictures in my mind Instantly forgotten in the haste of passing time Put away your pedestal, hide your crystal ball If you find me out, please let me know, I'd love to get the call [Chorus] We drift on the surface and die in the depths As the skipping stone sinks to its grave Charades, charades, charades [Verse 2] Sunday driving on a Tuesday afternoon I remember days that could never end too soon Ice melts, flashes fade, the chill will make you ache For the quiet of sobriety, I prayed that it would stay [Chorus] We drift on the surface and die in the depths As the skipping stone sinks to its grave Charades, charades, charades [Bridge] A dream of form In days of thought I sought to remain But weary eyes Make heavy hearts That long to be chained [Verse 3] I think it was the record, but it sounded like the house If the music weren't so loud, you could hear me crying out Like two gut string guitars tuned a half step apart You can't tell me what you need and so, I give you what I want [Chorus] We drift on the surface and die in the depths Every skipping stone sinks to its grave Charades, charades, charades Charades, charades, charades
