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
