Just A Mirage
Chasing Illusions: A Poetic Odyssey of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
I look out amongst the heatwaves
I observe the surroundings amidst heatwaves.
As I squint my sunburned eyes
Squinting my sunburned eyes.
A vision of your face appears
A vision of your face appears.
Against the yellow sky
Against the yellow sky.
To follow your voice I know would be
Following your voice seems like a regrettable mistake.
A mistake I would regret
I've made mistakes before and might make more.
But I’ve done my share of fucking up
Admitting to past mistakes.
And I don’t think I’m done yet
Uncertain about the future mistakes.
I know these old familiar tricks
Familiar with old tricks and patterns.
Your heart plays on your mind
The heart influences the mind.
You’re just a mirage and
You, the subject, are just a mirage.
You will fade away with time
You will fade away over time.
I’m an island of insanity
Feeling isolated in madness.
In an ocean of regret
Surrounded by regrets in an oceanic metaphor.
I’ve waited here so patiently
Waiting patiently for the mirage to vanish.
But you haven’t vanished yet
The mirage persists despite waiting.
I’ll sit here enshrouded
Sitting in dark and sinister thoughts.
In such grimly fiendish thought
Speculating on the possibility of the mirage vanishing.
Someday you may vanish
Future acknowledgment that the mirage may fade.
But you can not be forgot
Despite fading, you will not be forgotten.
I can’t seem to untangle
Unable to untangle the mental web.
This web wrapped ‘round my mind
The mirage is entwined in thoughts.
You’re just a mirage and
Reiteration that you are just a mirage.
You will fade away with time
The mirage will fade over time.
Fade away with time
Repetition of the fading theme.
Fade away with time
Continued emphasis on fading over time.
Fade away with time
Repetition and conclusion that the mirage will fade with time.
