The Mirage

We're a ride gone out of control
Losing grip on the things that we hold
Every second we're another mile to nowhere
We can't pretend that things will get better
So take your foot and jam it down on the pedal
I'll tell you when to release as soon as we get there

But there's nothing in the distance
Only more curves on this dead road
And there's nothing, so why are you so persistant
Only God knows, only God knows

So just sit tight
Hold on for dear life
The mirage will fade when we get closer
So breathe me in
Take a taste while you still can
The mirage has faded, now we see that it is over
(If this is what you want)

We're on the flight of a plane that's crashing
Unbuckle my belt 'cause I don't care about a fucking thing
Every second we're spinning closer to the ground
We can't wait for a wind to lift us
Nothing's left but useless mistrust
And when we hit and we explode, oh what a beautiful sound

But nothing's left but pieces
Parts of you that I thought I knew
And as my my life flashes before my eyes
I see the seeds I planted that never grew

So just sit tight
Hold on for dear life
The mirage will fade when we get closer
So breathe me in
Take a taste while you still can
The mirage has faded, now we see that it is over
(If this is what you need)

Broken images run through my head
I'm still dizzy from the words that you said
Whatever's left of us it must be dead
No use trying, let's give up instead

But you're just waiting for me to turn my back
While I'm sitting in the cold place we once sat
Planning your attack
Don't even try 'cause I'll just see through that

I'll see through you
I'll see through you
I'll see through

And I'm remember the nights that we always spent
Wondering to myself where the time went
Wishing that I could just breathe in your scent
Take back all the words that I never really meant

I close my eyes and all I see is blue
As the waves roll up the shore to take me back to you
Back to you
