Riddles & Lies

The gleam in your eye, it begged me to try But it warned me I'd never succeed From the way that you stood, I understood That you knew no better than me So tell me why, tell me why, All these riddles and lies And delicate threads of disguise When the games that we play, They're so carefully staged Why do we still roll the dice? I'm halfway to sleep, you asked what I need I answered in tongues and in braille Because the thoughts that I speak, are like tracks down the beach They're just true 'til the ocean exhales So tell me why, tell me why, All these riddles and lies And delicate threads of disguise When the words on my tongue They're not the same ones I speak to myself late at night These things I can say when you're inches away, When your vision's still blurry and close 'Cause our stories are flames of beeswax and chain As real and transparent as smoke So tell me why, tell me why, All these riddles and lies And delicate threads of disguise When we're all just the same, Slightly organized rain, Well why do we still choose to hide? When we're all just the same, Slightly organized rain, Well why do we still choose to hide? Yes, why do we still still choose to hide?
