Charade

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

A shade of me
The hues of reality

An endless grey, colors erased
A dimly lit parade
It’s black and white, they won’t collide… today
In this charade

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

My heart can be free
Cuz I need to breathe

An endless grey, colors erased
A dimly lit parade
It’s black and white, they don’t collide… today
In this charade
(Oh)

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

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