Mirages

I could have pushed you out that day
that would have been the easy way
watch you fly down that hundred meter fall
i wouldn't care at all
Falling, falling, drowning
inhaling and you're screaming
screaming... pleading don't go
Mirages - as i hurt you in my mind
as the memories unwind
mirages - as you led me to believe
in things that only you conceive
Why do you play that vicious game
i ask myself most every day
so high, that hundred meter fall
i turn around and there you are
Falling, falling, drowning
inhaling and i'm screaming
screaming... pleading... bleeding
Victoria falls were much too real
it's beauty false though now i see
please try to explain
what was the aim, what was the gain
no matter how i try to wash it off
the stains remain
(we are gathered here today
to say our last farewells
we fell so hard down that hundred meter fall
now - only stains of us remain)
Mirages - as you twisted with my mind
as you told me i was blind
mirages - well constructed to deceive
the trusty and naive
mirages - as you offered no reprieve
from the hell you had achieved
mirages - as i finally could see
that there was nothing to conceive
