Mirage city

There's a place I wanna go
’Cause my ma and pa, they fight at home
And though my feet may never grace the sand
It helps to give me hope
Where the waters flow superluminally
And where tachyons light heavenly
Where Chang'e plays her superstrings
They call it M.C

What would it mean to be a beam traveling like lightning?
Across cosmic ravine and to the city I have seen
In the nazar of my eye, the skyline
At once dead and alive
To see that picture in my mind
Pull focus on the lens of time

Waves crashing down like a lion pride roar
Beyond the break, a heavenly haven shimmers in the open water
The fortune teller never predicted this in her crystal ball
Is that a city drifting from afar or a reflection mirage?

In the mirror ripples, I get lost
Wondering 'bout my ma and pa and the little town where I’m from
If only I could swim or sail across
To the Mirage City where my prayers are answered by the Lord

I can't wait to leave this nightmare behind
I see it so clearly now; you're springtime and I'm ice
So I'll leave you with a message that I wrote (It says)
"Your shadow ain't burnt into my soul anymore"

So I follow the crow (Blood on the road)
And the prey of eagles (Chained to my throat)
I am suffering no more
But it's just a mirage in the wind disappearing

Woo!

Yeah so I build my own Chimera and face up to it's hate
I’m sick of being a scared little cunt that sleeps through all my dreams
I’m done with this city and the hurt that it's caused
Reflection on the back of my shirt
I’m done treading water in the sea of doubt
I ain't a backpacker caught in a rip, yeah
I die if I stay here, reborn if I leave
It's time for me to say goodbye to Mirage City
Woo!
Yeah yeah!
