The Charade Lyrics - D'angelo And The Vanguard

Crawling through a systematic maze 

And it pains to demise 

Pain in our eyes 

Strain of drownin', wading into your lies 

Degradation so loud that you can't hear the sound of our cries (doo, doo) 

All the dreamers have gone to the side of the road which we will lay on 

Inundated by media, virtual mind fucks in streams 

[CHORUS] 

All we wanted was a chance to talk 

'Stead we only got outlined in chalk 

Feet have bled a million miles we've walked 

Revealing at the end of the day, the charade 

Perpetrators beware say a prayer if you dare for the believers 

With a faith at the size of a seed enough to be redeemed (doo doo) 

Relegated to savages bound by the way of the deceivers 

So anchors be sure that you're sure we ain't no amateurs 

[CHORUS] 

All we wanted was a chance to talk 

'Stead we only got outlined in chalk 

Feet have bled a million miles we've walked 

Revealing at the end of the day, the charade 

[BRIDGE] 

With the veil off our eyes we'll truly see 

And we'll march on 

And it really won't take too long 

And it really won't take us very long
