Dark Charade

I've been dredgin' the lake of my soul for a place I've never been
 Scattering the last of my thoughts to capture a whim
 Filled my lungs to limit
 Found why we stay in denial
 On this unclimbed stairway
 Watching life go by
 I'll make it easier on those of us who don't know that I am still here
 Imagining dialtone schemes
 When I lost myself in the dark charade...
 But I promise: my performance was flawless
 I lost myself in the dark charade
 And I swear I'm far more crazy than the rumors make me out to be
 Crazy...
 Crazier than me...
 All we are is all we are
 Featureless with inside scars
 We sink through walls and float right through it all
 If all we are is what they say
 We'll become them along the way
 Who were we before we were ashamed?
 Don't tell them the cause between fragments of all of us
 Still the rain to rhyme the reason
 Takes some time to find the one
 To find the soul to make me god enough
 That I could save us all
 And do you love me now that I can save us all?
 Do you love me now that I can save us all?
 Do you love me now?
 If you'll just stand over here we'll find a place where you can waste away
 Sorry it's not what you sought, but superstition is all we brought today
 I'll return you to the Wind for circumstantial assurances, love
 Sold the sea to buy the ship... I think I may have fucked up things again
 Found a way to make your soul alive, to make you slide...
 So who will be the first in line?
 This was all an unfortunate mistake
 Do you recall a little bit of innocence, a time when we could still forgive and forget?
 I remember plastic pills and crystal balls within syringes filled, filling up with
 Algorithms, circuitry - this fluid frame has shown me things
 I fear, I know, I believe
 So who will be the first in line?
 They're not there, they're not there
 Don't look at them...
 Don't look: stare with your menacing cinder eyes
 At the least of us who've given their lives
 Where the sanguine ought to be we pale in the light we bend
 Oh, enough said.
 Where's the love, you liar?
