Mirage
Sometimes hope it shimmers
Like a break in the clouds
It cuts through the darkness then it's gone
I let myself sit in it
Felt the sun upon my face
I knew it wouldn't last and it was gone
I saw you in the distance
Floating just out of reach
You flickered and disappeared like a mirage
That hope is an illusion
It always slips away
The longer I look at it
The more the edges fray
I wrap my hands around it
And try to make it mine
It just slips through my fingers
I'm grasping at the sky
I'm only what they made me
I'll never be unmade
I can't undo the damage to my soul
I don't deserve the beauty
The starlight or the sea
I'll stay here with the ashes in the cold
And when I hear the singing
Those faint forgotten words
Still echo on the sea wind I'll go
That hope is an illusion
It always slips away
The longer I look at it
The more the edges fray
I wrap my hands around it
And try to make it mine
It just slips through my fingers
I'm grasping at the sky
Shining, I see it shining
I can't run towards it this time
Hiding, I'm finished hiding
I can't escape it this time
That hope is an illusion
It always slips away
The longer I look at it
The more the edges fray
I wrap my hands around it
And try to make it mine
It just slips through my fingers
I'm grasping at the sky
Like a break in the clouds
It cuts through the darkness then it's gone
I let myself sit in it
Felt the sun upon my face
I knew it wouldn't last and it was gone
I saw you in the distance
Floating just out of reach
You flickered and disappeared like a mirage
That hope is an illusion
It always slips away
The longer I look at it
The more the edges fray
I wrap my hands around it
And try to make it mine
It just slips through my fingers
I'm grasping at the sky
I'm only what they made me
I'll never be unmade
I can't undo the damage to my soul
I don't deserve the beauty
The starlight or the sea
I'll stay here with the ashes in the cold
And when I hear the singing
Those faint forgotten words
Still echo on the sea wind I'll go
That hope is an illusion
It always slips away
The longer I look at it
The more the edges fray
I wrap my hands around it
And try to make it mine
It just slips through my fingers
I'm grasping at the sky
Shining, I see it shining
I can't run towards it this time
Hiding, I'm finished hiding
I can't escape it this time
That hope is an illusion
It always slips away
The longer I look at it
The more the edges fray
I wrap my hands around it
And try to make it mine
It just slips through my fingers
I'm grasping at the sky
