Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
When you look at me through your crystal glass
You will see that I am now your past
But you give your love to me
In your life I wasn't meant to be
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
But until that day has come
When you'll say, "I'll be your only one"
I will live the way it's meant for me
With ups and downs and mystery
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Just a mirage
Fading away like water
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Oh oh oh, I am just a mirage
Eyes must be wide shut, ni--a got you open closing your blinders
Listen cause you need a friendly reminder
Lemme take this bullet, bullet out of my head
Change your body, need a visor
Hard to be but f--k it, don't be a driver
All me want is a girl who be alright girl
Can't believe she pull it, pull it like a gun shot
But she want me to hold her, hold her, down
Sorry boo boo, you gets no love, no love, now
Must be coo coo, got me f--ked up, f--ked up, wow
You know a ni--a ain't gon hold ya, hold ya, down
I'm A Mirage, The f--k I look like
I'm A Mirage, What the f--k I look like
Its all in your mind, your mind
F--k I look like
Open your eyes, you're blind
What the f--k I look like
Yeah, yeah you're mine i should apologize to ya
Keep on telling all of those crazy lies to ya
You believe em, i don't wanna accept the truth
Who the f--k you're kidding, kidding
What's the use
Sad to see you playing the fool
You don't know half the sh-t that a ni--a been through
I guess you got your reward, reward
Acting like you don't need me babe
But she want me to hold her, hold her, down
Sorry boo boo, you gets no love, no love, now
Must be coo coo, got me f--ked up, f--ked up, wow
You know a ni--a ain't gon hold ya, hold ya, down
(excuse my french but)
I'm A Mirage, The f--k I look like
I'm A Mirage, What the f--k I look like
Saw it in your mind, your mind
F--k I look like
Open your eyes, you're blind
What the f--k I look like
You looking for love and I'm the one you imagine
With athlete money from just rapping
My body rapping sir valentine, Laura piano fashion
Sex with passion, romancing, laughing
Happiness, action, restaurants, relaxing
They got some good sushi in Aspen
A good pu--y I'm smashing
I call you masa hisa, yeah I'm your Visa
American Express I must confess
I'm trying to go beyond love
And this is hard to translate
Love is good but to me good is just an enemy of great
You wanna make it to the top
But you don't got what it take to be a model, actress, singer, stripper
Want me to help you to become a star
You was my sister, you was my soldier
Then I used to miss ya, I used to love ya, I feen to hold ya
You didn't know me it was only just a mirage, mirage
You didn't know me it was only just a mirage, mirage
What the f--k I look like
Saw it in your mind, your mind
F--k I look like
Open your eyes, you're blind
What the f--k I look like
Yeah
What the f--k I look like?
F--ked Up
I see you standing in the alleys and the hallway's
Corner
I'd love to get you but you vanish through the doorway
And oh wow
All it is to think about you
I love everything about you
Now I know you're real enough
But my imagination is so stunned
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh yeah oh, wanna be by my side
Oh yeah oh, now it's finally time
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something that I hardly see
So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you
I keep remembering the kisses in the doorway
And car too
How it all comes back to me
The movies ever Saturday
And the places that we use to be
I wish somehow to have that life
Well it use to be
[Chorus]
I'm just a vision on your T.V. screen
just something conjured from a dream
seen thro' your x-ray eyes,
a see-thro' scene
the image is no images
it's not what it seems.
My limbs are like palm trees
swaying in no breeze
my body's an oasis
to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
your non excuse for human being.
It's quite plain to see
that I'm playing with me
A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D
seen thro' your x-ray eyes,
a see-thro' scene
the image is no images
it's not what it seems.
[verse 1]
Found a note layin' on the bedroom floor
Read it and felt my emotions start to soar
It said, 'Follow all the signs that lead ya down the hall
Be ready for a sweet surprise'
Excitement was risin' up with every stride
Couldn't help smilin', I felt joy inside
You always find a way to take my spirits high
Could not believe my eyes
Cause I saw - you
In the doorway
Breakfast - burnt
What could I say
It was - like
In the Movies
[chorus]
Boy
You make my day (With every little thing you do)
Make my day (With every loving word from you)
Make my day (You always seem to find a way)
Make my day (Every moments like a holiday)
Make my day (Every time that you walk in the room)
Make my day (Every night I'm lyin' next to you)
Make my day (Every morning when you're by my side)
Boy you make my day
[verse 2]
One of those days nothing goin' right
Workin' my butt until late at night
Bout to tell my boss he can take a hike
When I got a call from you
Short time later all my work is done
Packed my things up and I was on the run
Straight to you like a shot from a gun
I unlocked the door and
I saw - you
With red roses
Iced Champagne
Candelabras
Bubble Bath
I'm T.K.O.
Boy you make my day
So listen girls
If U got some one who will treat you right
Won't run around all night
You need to hold on tight don't let him go
Better yet girls let him know, he is worth gold
Boys don't come like that on every corner
[chorus]
I'm just a vision on your TV screen
Just something conjured from my dream
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non excuse for human being
It's quite plain to see that I'm playing with me
A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non excuse for human being, being, being
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non excuse for human being
It's not what it seems
The image is no images
It's not what it seems
Scanning all around
Nothing there to see
Suddenly from nowhere
Things that shouldn't be
Big gunpowder falls
Tumbles underground
Drops of cardboard water
Ancient blocks of sound
Mirage ...
Water sets the fire
Spinning on its tail
Shade grows to night-time
Pleasures there for sale
Nobody sees
The way it goes
Timeless land
Nobody knows
Mirage...
Every time I see your face
I see the light
Every time I call your name
I know it ain't right
I'm on the run again
Don't know if I could ever make you see
Maybe I feel no pain
But I need you to keep me company
All through the night
You're all I need
Through the night
CHORUS
Oh I can't believe it
You're just a mirage
Must be dreamin'
I can't get you out of my mind
I begin and end my nights with you
I'm under your spell
You bare my flesh, you strip my soul
Maybe you can tell
I hear your voice, I see your face
But I need you
To keep me company
All through the night
I dream of lovin' you
Through the night
Don't know what to do
I'm dreamin' of you
I'm dreamin' of you
CHORUS
You're just a mirage
Can't stop dreamin'
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't believe it
You're just a mirage
Must be dreamin'
I can't get you out of my mind
Lonesome and hungry I travel this land
Searching for some place called home
Faceless and nameless known only by fate
When destiny finds me no more shall I roam
Tired and thirsty as I travel on
Dreaming of water and wine
Beside a green meadow I stop for a rest
Where a gentle brook winds through the pines
Standing eyes blinded by God's golden water
My savior was but a facade
Hands sifting sand from a pool full of promise
My oasis was just a mirage
Alone and exhausted I fall to my knees
I can't find the strength to go on
Visions will show me the path as I sleep
And I'll find my way with the dawn
Standing eyes blinded by God's golden water
My savior was but a facade
Hands sifting sand from a pool full of promise
My oasis was just a mirage
Awakened by voices that whisper my name
I'm all alone in the night
How can a place so empty and cold
Be filled with such glorious light
Standing eyes blinded by God's golden water
My savior was but a facade
Hands sifting sand from a pool full of promise
My oasis was just a mirage
(repeat chorus)
Lonesome and hungry I travel this land
Searching for some place called home
Faceless and nameless known only by fate
Footsteps cross the schoolyard,
Holding hands with a mirage.
You don't listen,
You do not exist.
Image of a suggestion,
The broken ball in question.
Through shattered mirror,
Enter caravan.
New mirage, mirage
It seems to me.
Or maybe stop feeling
You do not exist.
Train tracks through the desert
Sad eyes, little puppet
You don't listen,
You do not exist.
Happy not to notice.
The room retracts the focus,
Where you cannot see.
Reflections from within.
New mirage, mirage
It seems to me.
Or maybe stop seeing.
You do not exist.
Or maybe stop feeling.
Holding hands with a mirage
Holding hands with a mirage
Holding hands with a mirage
Holding hands with a mirage
Holding hands with a mirage
Holding hands with a mirage
Holding hands with a mirage
Driving
And I ask so much I wanna say it's my fault I made it (this way)
Pushing you (away) from me
And the day spins, I know I see your face
But I'm trippin' cause you back the other way
Don't wanna believe that it's a figment of my imagination
Baby I'm lost without ya,
All I mean is miss, I can't live without ya
Everywhere I look I see you
But it's not you
Is this a mirage I'm runnin' to
Mirage I'm runnin' to
I'm stranded in the middle of a mistake
Wish I can rewrite the moments that went down of that day
I'm so far, from home
I can't change the past
No matter which way, I go
And no turning back (turnin' back)
And your absence is just too much to take
And I thought that I'd just might be replaced
So I'm seein' illusions
To keep me from losing my mind
Girl, if, I had the chance to change
By the sins that I had made
I'll make it better (oh)
Holdin' on to what we had
Still together in my head (oh, OH)
Oh, is a mirage I'm runnin' to
Oh ah, just a mirage I'm runnin' to
All alone watching
Evil in the sky
Scan the desert
For a stranger coming into sight
But I have to be one step ahead
Let the eyes of time
Lead me to the end
Taking every chance
To trace these steps alone
Every circumstance
Leads to roads unknown
Now it's all around us
And the world has come undone
There's no one left to see
Nothing to believe
There's a ghost inside my mind
Keeps the memories alive
There's a demon on the run
Heading for the sun
Here alone and I'm half asleep
Thoughts are sick and twisted
Never what they seem
Always someone on the other side
Got to stop this spiral
Running for my life
All the evidence
Was hidden very well
That will never change
The stories one could tell
Now it's all around us
And the world has come undone
There's no one left to see
Nothing to believe
There's a ghost inside my mind
Keeps the memories alive
There's a demon on the run
Awoke in heat, it's unbearable
But I climb the hill
And the sands are burning
They're bending circuits in sand castles
Stealing minerals
So the world keeps turning
They take and they take 'til it's gone
When metal meets sand, something's wrong
But they won't get caught
Because I forgot, it's a mirage
It's a mirage, it's mirage
Blistering feet, it's a miracle
They survived at all
When they keep returning
They're chasing riches and changing rules
And we've all been fooled
The machine keeps learning
They take and they take 'til it's gone
When metal meets sand, something's wrong
But they won't get caught
Because I forgot, it's a mirage
It's a mirage, It's a mirage
A parade of ghosts brought these
innocent feelings to where innocent itself
was brought to.
To view the rush of female tempests.
My Sculptured face
turns and twists by the sound of my own
(horrid) laughter.
Awoken by the sight?
Ha! False lies have taken place in me...
(Words of lust heard from vast buildings).
That is the mirage you longed for.
So, amuse me.
Amuse me with the bitter glance in your eyes.
As I forsake you
with my forlorn beauty.
...and expose to you,
the garden of gods in my
hand.
The glance turns to a gleam.
A parade of thoughts encircle my
throne and whisper to me,
words of beauty.
And i caress these.
..and open wound in the palm of my hand...
The sky is no longer clear.
That is
I sit on the edge of the magic bridge
Overlooking all of the carnage
Your innocence is my tourniquet
And I am still a masochist
When will this all be over?
We'll never be together
Why does the fire illuminate our future sorrow?
I see a reflection down below
Outline of a girl I hardly know
I throw a rock right at her face
Let the water take her place
When will this all be over?
We'll never be together
Why does the water saturate the dawn with sarcasm?
I feel the sun beating down on me
A scarlet dose of reality
Your shade not enough to save my skin
The burn a scar from my wicked sin
When will this all be over?
We'll never be together
Do you feel like you were trapped in your seclusion,
locked away in your mind as you fell desperate in delusion.
Countless times, you ask yourself of this conclusion.:
"Why does everybody look at me like I'm just some intrusion?"
There goes one more day of loneliness.
There goes one more day of such unrest.
It feels that every step is leading you to darkness,
where you start to grasp for something then you feel like you were harnessed.
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning onside round.
Can this illusion that you think you see
be a mirage indeed?
be a mirage indeed?
Did you feel like you were let down and abused
And everytime you lift your head up, things just crumbled under you.
Walls are caving in, and what you see seems like the truth,
but then you look again and nothing's there. What is there left to do?
There goes one more day of loneliness.
There goes one more day of such unrest.
It feels that every step is leading you to darkness,
where you start to grasp for something then you feel like you were harnessed.
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning outside round.
Can this illusion that you think you see
be a mirage indeed?
be a mirage indeed?
You're just trapped away.
No one's here.
All is so unclear.
Can you stop and stay?
Something's real, but then it disappears!!!
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning outside round.
Can this illusion that you think you see
be a mirage indeed?
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning outside round.
Can this illusion that you think you see
be a mirage indeed?
be a mirage indeed?
be a mirage indeed?
Come here, sweet lover
Come, do take my hand
Carry me so far from here...
Take me far across
Deserts burning red
Mirage can take me there...
Take me to the end
Of a rainbow dream
I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways
Wait a second, you're gone now
I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorway
And oh, how hard it is to live without you
I love everything about you
Now I know you're really gone
But my imagination is so strong
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh yeah oh, want to be by my side
Oh yeah oh, now it's finally time
Wait a second
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see
So I keep walking through the alleys
And the hallways where are you
I keep remembering the kissing
In the doorways, the car too
How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh yeah oh, want to be by my side
Oh yeah oh, now it's finally time
Here it comes again
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Hush now, the morning's near
Her crystal light will wash away all your fear
Your teary eyes she'll blind with hope
She'll make you believe
There's meaning to reveal
Make you believe yesterday couldn't be real
So wipe your eyes now and be brave
Let this false hope lead your way
This frail mirage might just warm your frozen heart
Brace yourself
There really is nobody out there
To hold your hand - when you are ready to fail
Darling hush now, the night is near
To bury your pain in darkness and fear
And on the dusty roads we ride
With nothing but our foolish pride
Trying to find the way forward
Desperately searching for
Who we really are
So close your eyes now and be brave
Let those dreams stand in your way
Their frail mirage might just warm your frozen heart
If it's all for the happy days
Don't turn around, don't look ahead
For meaning you will have to face
The worse I thirst for water the more it comes to my
sight
I see a clear blue lake before me we'll quench out thirst
tonight
So move along ol' pony soon we'll thirst no more
And when we reach that haven you'll graze along the shore
We've wandered through the wasteland just one more hill
to climb
Then we'll drink our fill of water and rest for a long
long time
I see the water is sinking sinking into the burning sand
And we will die for water here in this barren land
So move along ol' pony just one more hill to climb
And we'll drink our fill of water and rest for a long
I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways
Wait a second, you're gone now
I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorway
And oh, how hard it is to live without you
I love everything about you
Now I know you're really gone
But my imagination is so strong
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh yeah oh, want to be by my side
Oh yeah oh, now it's finally time
Wait a second
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see
So I keep walking through the alleys
And the hallways where are you
I keep remembering the kissing
In the doorways, the car too
How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh yeah oh, want to be by my side
Oh yeah oh, now it's finally time
Here it comes again
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
I feel in my bones flames are making my soul igniteI've
wandered alone in parts unknown on my own in plight
Upon the raining days and nights I'm thirsting you only
(I burn alive tonight I burn for you)
And even though my faith is resolved I'm so lonely
(I burn alive tonight I burn for you)
Over time, blood to wine, please someone send down a sign
I'm lost in your desert, I need help again
My blinded eyes fear this might be my end
This heat is more than I comprehended
I'm praying this mirage is you
Like a furnace in me I feel me melting along the way
With every mile I crawl I find new barriers every day
Upon forty days and nights I feel you sustain me
(I burn alive tonight I burn for you)
But this fever's overtaking my life almost daily
(I burn alive tonight I burn for you)
Blessed shrine, love divine, it's a crime to say
I'm lost in your desert, I need help again
My blinded eyes fear this might be my end
This heat is more than I comprehended
I'm praying this mirage is you
It's like there's a knife between your heart and my soul
I search for a sign but your eyes seem so cold
I'm stoking the fires in hopes that we can
Find a faith to hang onto, make it through
The times we treat each mean and cruel
[Hook]
My life be like
Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
[Verse One: Coffee]
I'm on an island by my lonesome stranded
Low key and stayin' candid
Reflect on all the things I try my hand at
Church for the equations to persuasions I'm used to
Finding comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
A mountainous fontaine
Spinnin' and monsoonin', grinnin' it's hign octane
Explosive how I came
Rollin' down hills cause lifes a hastle
Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
Stay afloat, catch a second wind
Thin
Is the air I breathe
Teary eyed nose runnin' wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm callin' on the Savior to be all that I need
Please forgive me my behavior had me lost at light speed
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
[Verse Two: Bonifide]
The fear of never fallin' in love
And the tears after losin' the feelings of what you thought love was
Like the dirt still up under the rug (My life be like)
Bad characteristics covered in Christs blood
The joy of new birth and the pain of growin' up
The bliss between givin' my all and givin' up
The highs and lows
Paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze
Tryin' to ease my woes
In this world of sin
Clothes to thin to fend
So to God I send
Words of help to win
In grumblings so deep letters could never express
So the sound of Ooh Aah beneath my breath projects
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
Don't be bad
[Verse Three: TobyMac]
My life be like
Ooh Aah Ooh
Dum dum ditty
Here come that boy from the Capital City
Last up on the Grits new ditty
But eight bars or the truth well do (uh)
I believe theres a private stunnin
And I believe in the Kindgom Comming
I believe if you seek the truth
You don't need to look far cause it's gonna find you
So why oh why do I trip and stumble?
And ooh aah as commitment crumbles?
I can't believe that I'm here again...
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
My life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Ma-ma-my life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
My life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
