Mirage Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just a vision on your TV screen
Just something conjured from a dream
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems

[Chorus]
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 a human being

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 a human being, being, being

[Chorus]
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 a human being
[Outro]
It's not what it seems, the image is no images
It's not what it seems, it's not what it seems

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
