Mirage Life

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

Realizing so many yesterdays today

Memories shifted, twisted into times changed

Seconds past chance

Glazed eyes

Washed away unrealized pain

Your jaded lips on dotted lines

Wet kisses slip on coffin pine

Wide eyes and blind minds

Rough riding through unseen crimes

Lost control with a stolen wheel

On a dying dusty memories lie.

(Pre-Chorus)

Time’s moving fast through 

Yesterday’s past

So catch me if you can

I’m tripping through life.

(Chorus)

I can’t see what you say

Through your beautiful lies

Catch me if you can

I’m day tripping through life

I’m not your typical man

Don't make the same mistakes twice

The lies chained my mirage life.

Blisters on a used heart beat me fast

Crash at the speed of the past

Dreams cut through the doom

Dreams cut through hard hands of time

Dreams shine into the darkest room

Floating away on a hot air balloon

Tears show new water ways

Drenched in the shine

The moon leads to daylight.

(Pre-Chorus)

Time’s moving fast through 

Yesterday’s past

So catch me if you can

I’m tripping through life.

(Chorus)

I can’t see what you say

Through your beautiful lies

Catch me if you can

I’m day tripping through life

I’m not your typical man

Don't make the same mistakes twice

The lies chained my mirage life.

When the mind is fooled

The heart still feels full

Haven’t even felt love picking up the wrong shell

Days unroll then unfold

Spinning hookers out of control

Wool drawn over blind eyes

Ignoring all the invisible signs

Lies stab innocent minds

Dreams carry hope through darkest times.

The lies you push on me multiply

Reflect on other minds to avoid your crimes

Hustling everyone blank with cheques that cash out

Push the cracked plaster fragile walls

Over flawed alibis.

(Pre-Chorus)

Time’s moving fast through 

Yesterday’s past

So catch me if you can

I’m tripping through life.

(Chorus)

I can’t see what you say

Through your beautiful lies

Catch me if you can

I’m day tripping through life

I’m not your typical man

Don't make the same mistakes twice

The lies chained my mirage life.

(Bridge)

And I’m going to shine 

Cause it’s my time

And I’m going to shine the light

On all your lies

Free from my mind

Through see through blinds

And I’m going to shine

The clock is rocked

Runaway time

Love shines

Through broken minds.

(Pre-Chorus)

Time’s moving fast through 

Yesterday’s past

So catch me if you can

I’m tripping through life.

(Chorus)

I can’t see what you say

Through your beautiful lies

Catch me if you can

I’m day tripping through life

I’m not your typical man

Don't make the same mistakes twice

The lies chained my mirage life.

My whole life has been a beautiful plan

Try and catch me

Try and catch me

But you can’t.
