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
