The Mirage

No shelter
There’s no way around
And you dwindle as you’re slowly being
Sandpapered down

You’re out of focus
As you disintegrate in time
Then you see that spiral stairway
But you don’t wanna join that file

You know you’re done for
You snap at any bait, you’ll see
It ain’t your eyes that deceive you
No it’s you
And you believe in the mirage

Don’t tell the others
‘Cause you’ll be laughed at and cursed
Still none of them is lucid
For the sunburn and the thirst

You know they’re done for
So you save the only life you can
It ain’t your eyes that deceive you
No it’s you
And you believe in the mirage

You ask yourself that question
Am I crazy or are they?
But you cannot answer
You don’t want to anyway
You just walk down that portal
For that river seems so real
But you’ve got to move more quickly
Than common sense congeals

You can’t believe it
Because unmistakably
Where myth and matter meet
You feel cool, cool water at your feet
