Silent Charades Lyrics

This city
Is burning us alive
And we're wired
To go on like the street lights at night
And day after day, maze after maze
We lose sight of our dreams and desires
Whispers and screams, lost are the things
We used to hold so close

Oh, to break this heart of stone
See the world through her eyes
Those eyes of compassion
To see through all the lies

When the world goes up in flames
And we keep our eyes glazed
On ourselves
The mirages that we make
All the lives that we break that keep me from you

Help me
Break down the walls in my mind
To see
All the things that I'm hiding behind
But I'm scared to break free, I'm scared to be me
I'm so use to living a lie All the silent charades, the games that we play
Oh, they hurt me deep inside

Can you break this heart of stone
See the world through her eyes
Those eyes of compassion
To see through all the lies

But this world goes up in flames
And we keep our eyes glazed
On ourselves
The mirages that we make
All the lives that we break that keep me from you

Can you break this heart of stone
See the world through her eyes
Those eyes of compassion
To see through all the lies

I want to feel alive
See the joy and the pain
Oh, the good and the bad
Can I try to love again
Put my heart on the line
And give you my love
