Mirage Lyrics

Mirage

Skyscrapers loom, reality bends

Chasing dollars through a cul-de-sac, never ends

Neon signs flicker, truth in disguise

Hustlin' for a future that never arrives

Golden arches, empty promises served

Deep fried delusions, the dream's been curved

Politicians grin, pockets so fat

Selling fantasies, we fall in the trap

American mirage, mirage in our eyes

Promises glitter but they all lies

Pyramids of paper, we climb up and fall

Hypnotized by the glitter, can't see at all

Credit score tangles, dreams in chains

Mortgages tighten, hope slowly wanes

Suburban castles, walls closing in

Underneath the surface, the cracks begin

Street lights glowing, night fades to morn

Sleepless nights, hearts remain torn

Empty ambition, material strain

Believing in dreams that turn into pain

Billboards shining, sellin' fake gold

Chasing shadows, stories grow cold

Pledges of freedom, shackled minds

Finding out slow, through the thin lines
