Charade

[Verse 1]
I've given up the fight
Won't last until the night
Just trying to make it through the every day
I no longer feel so in rage
Weight that I cannot shake
No sorrow that I would try hard to escape

[Pre-Chorus]
A shade of me (Of me)
The hues of reality (Reality)

[Chorus]
An endless grey, colors erased
A dimly lit parade
It's black and white, they won't collide
Today, in this charade

[Verse 2]
I've tried on every smile
But they don't last a mile
Did everything I thought that I could do
There's a quiet chaos ahead
Peace that I cannot name
In all the noise I see where I have been lead

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart can be free (Be free)
'Cause I need to breathe (Need to breathe)

[Chorus]
An endless grey, colors erased
A dimly lit parade
It's black and white, they don't collide
Today, in this charade
Oh

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
An endless grey, colors erased
A dimly lit parade
It's black and white, they don't collide
Today
An endless grey, colors erased
A dimly lit parade
It's black and white, they won't collide
That way, it's a charade

[Outro]
And if you feel the same
About this masquerade
I do regret the souls the song portrayed
