Mirage

Verse 1

Heatlines bend the city’s spine

Truth evaporates in time

Footprints drift like whispered lies

Faces blur in borrowed skies

Pre-Chorus

Reach for water made of light

Touch the edge and lose your sight

Chorus

Mirage, you move when I arrive

Turning deserts into tides

Every promise made of glass

Shatters as I try to pass

Mirage, you bloom and then recede

Feed the wound and starve the need

Lead me close, then fade away

Teach me how to not obey

Verse 2

Silver roads that loop and split

Every sign refuses it

Columns rise then turn to dust

Names dissolve inside my trust

Pre-Chorus

Reach for water made of light

Touch the edge and lose your sight

Chorus

Mirage, you move when I arrive

Turning deserts into tides

Every promise made of glass

Shatters as I try to pass

Mirage, you bloom and then recede

Feed the wound and starve the need

Lead me close, then fade away

Teach me how to not obey

Bridge

Break the vision, break the vow

Cut the tether, breathe the now

If it loves me, let it stay

If it leaves, I’ll walk away

Final Chorus

Mirage, I see the hidden seam

You are not the water’s gleam

All your kingdoms made of sand

Wash away inside my hands

Mirage, I learn to let you go

Thirst becomes a steadier glow

I won’t chase your shifting face

I will drink from present grace

Outro

Sunset cools the fevered ground

I am here—solid, found
