Black Charades

A tear upon my lover's cheek
Tells me that my love is weak
A fear upon my mother's heart
Tells me not to look so far

Now that I have heard
You know that once a love is hurt
You know you won't be comin' back to me

Comin' back to me

Cracks upon my plastic wall
Tells me not to stand so tall
Black charades the shadows cast
The unwilling soldier takes his task

For love of heart and love of skin
We must pay for our sins

Now that I have heard
You know that once a love is hurt
You know you won't be comin' back to…

Now that I have heard
You know that once a love is hurt
You know you won't be comin' back to me

Cracks upon my plastic wall
Tells me not to stand so tall
Black charades the shadows cast
The unwilling soldier takes his task
