The Charade (2016 Remix) Lyrics

Stop and listen to these words

Open up and free yourself

Break down the walls

To a closed heart and mind

You’ll find that you have no time to understand

It’s early in the morning

Waking my eyes to the day

Stumble from my sleep

Wipe the dreams from my eyes

The dreams make no sense

And I’m ready to begin… again

Ready to begin… again

This never-ending charade

This is what there is

All to drink of the magic cup

And there’s no more

Is it more of the same

Of which my life has become?

Stop and listen to these words

Open up and free yourself

Break down the walls

To a closed heart and mind

You’ll find that you have no time to understand

This is what there is to say

A final act to the final show

And there’s no more

And you think that you can say

I don’t live and my heart’s denied

Poor little soul

And deaf ears on your words they fall

Look in my eyes

Never forgive you at all

And I don’t see the reason for

The things you’d have me believe

Your one-sided mission to set me free

What’s that look upon your face?

Can’t you understand?

I’ve got too many things to do

Sorry I spoiled your plans

Another day at the office

Another one in the grave

Stop that shaking of your head,

Lest you throw me into a rage

Always trying to tell me

What’s good… what’s life

Stop and smell the coffee

This one’s been here all night

I’m not the one with the problem

Don’t you point at me

Have you forgot I’ve work to do?

Dump that coffee and make some tea

I was a lonely man

Sitting on the edge of a fall

(I never dreamed it would happen to me)

The path I walked was always so clear

(Now the dreams are becoming real)

You told me to stare at the painting on the wall

(A moment frozen to our eyes indifferent)

How casually I dismiss this…

(No wings of angels to turn your eyes)

So (forward) I step into a (picture), a window

(Arrested) motion, (primitive) sense of (living)

Will I breathe (again)?

The life I know (nothing) of until now!

This is what there is to say

A final act to the final show

And there’s no more

And you think that you can say

I don’t live and my heart’s denied

Poor little soul

And deaf ears on your words they fall

Look in my eyes

Never forgive you at all

And I don’t see the reason for

The things you’d have me believe

Your one-sided mission to set me free

Now I open my eyes and see

The consequence of my imminent falter

A second look at the world

I wake up and reborn

Taking the time to look around

Embracing a world that holds more for me

I’ll never look back, I’m not gonna fall!
