Lyrics
"Mirage"
Music & Lyrics ©2025 Mitch Cooper
[Verse 1]
Desert traveler with an empty canteen
Chasing visions of an oasis unseen
Your silhouette wavers in the heat
A salvation that refuses to meet
[Chorus]
Like water vapor hanging in desert air
I can see your facade, everywhere
But when I reach to you with trembling hands
You disappear into the scorching sands
[Verse 2]
My tongue swells with unspoken words
While vultures circle overhead like herds
I'd drink the salt from my own tears
To fuel this journey through the years
[Chorus]
Like water vapor hanging in desert air
I can see your facade, everywhere
But when I reach to you with trembling hands
You disappear into the scorching sands
[bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if you feel me too
A mirage yourself, seeking something true
Are we both illusions in this wasteland scene?
Reflections of desire, forever unseen
[Chorus]
Like water vapor hanging in desert air
I can see your facade, everywhere
But when I reach to you with trembling hands
You disappear into the scorching sands
