The Mirage

We're a ride gone out of control

Losing grip on the things that we hold

Every second we're another mile to nowhere

We can't pretend that things will get better

So take your foot and jam it down on the pedal

I'll tell you when to release as soon as we get there

But there's nothing in the distance

Only more curves on this dead road

And there's nothing, so why are you so persistant

Only God knows, only God knows

So just sit tight

Hold on for dear life

The mirage will fade when we get closer

So breathe me in

Take a taste while you still can

The mirage has faded, now we see that it is over

(If this is what you want)

We're on the flight of a plane that's crashing

Unbuckle my belt 'cause I don't care about a fucking thing

Every second we're spinning closer to the ground

We can't wait for a wind to lift us

Nothing's left but useless mistrust

And when we hit and we explode, oh what a beautiful sound

But nothing's left but pieces

Parts of you that I thought I knew

And as my my life flashes before my eyes

I see the seeds I planted that never grew

So just sit tight

Hold on for dear life

The mirage will fade when we get closer

So breathe me in

Take a taste while you still can

The mirage has faded, now we see that it is over

(If this is what you need)

Broken images run through my head

I'm still dizzy from the words that you said

Whatever's left of us it must be dead

No use trying, let's give up instead

But you're just waiting for me to turn my back

While I'm sitting in the cold place we once sat

Planning your attack

Don't even try 'cause I'll just see through that

I'll see through you

I'll see through you

I'll see through

And I'm remember the nights that we always spent

Wondering to myself where the time went

Wishing that I could just breathe in your scent

Take back all the words that I never really meant

I close my eyes and all I see is blue

As the waves roll up the shore to take me back to you

Back to you
