Imploding The Mirage

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was a timid Rockwellian boy

She was tattooed and ready to deploy

Gave me reservation and the like

But she could be the dangerous type

But I threw caution 'cause something about that yin and the yang

Was pushing my boundaries out beyond my imagining

While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause

I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

Struck my name from the camouflage

I wasn't lost in the collage

I was imploding the mirage

I was imploding the mirage

I had to do it, I had no other choice

You've got to listen to the inside voice

A bullet train will get you there fast

But it won't guarantee a long last

Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage and doubt

To push your boundaries out beyond your imagining

While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause

I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

Struck my name from the camouflage

I wasn't lost in the collage

I was imploding the mirage

I was imploding the mirage

I was spellbound by the show

The matchless power of the glow

I was bound by golden shackles, getting by

She tripped the breaker, blew the fuse

Doesn't need no pair of shoes

Her wings have come, and she's ready for the sky

While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause

I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

I walked right out of the camouflage

I wasn't locked in no collage

I was imploding the mirage

I was imploding the mirage
