Mirage

The canteen is bone-dry
The sun beats down from the sky
You feel like you might die
In this desolate land

But off in the distance
You see a reflection
So you kneel down to drink it
And get a mouth full of sand

It's a mirage. It’s a mirage

When the thirst leaves you spinning
You can't explain how your living
So you re-write the history
And the story you tell

Is a mirage. It's a mirage

Wake up. Wake up. There’s a fire in your bed
You're lost in the smoke and the flames
Get out! Get out! Get out of your head
So you can remember your name

I know it's confusing
Trying to see what you can't see
You just have to trust me
And surrender yourself

'Cause the dust has to settle
For you to see how this desert
Makes a hell out of heaven
And a heaven of hell

That's a mirage
That's a mirage
That's a mirage
That’s a mirage

So, wake up! Wake up! There is still time
Wake up! Wake up! Open your eyes
Wake up! Wake up!
Come home
