Mirage

STUDIO

[Intro]

Closer.
...no. Closer.

[Verse 1]

Heat comes off the floor like the summer never left,
I move slow on purpose slow is how you get obsessed. (mmm)
You been watching from the corner for an hour and thirteen,
counting every step I take like it's a language you can read.

It's not. Not yet. You gotta earn the alphabet.
Smoke in the light, incense on my neck,
gold on the wrist, silk where you can't touch yet
everything about tonight is a beautiful debt.

Come find me in the crowd, baby, blink and I'm gone,
you reach for the water and the water moves on.
Every time you think you got me, check your hands
nothing there but the heat and the sand.

[Pre-Chorus]

You want it, you want it, I can hear it in your breathing,
(shh, shh)
patience is a language, baby start reading.
Now

[Drop 1]

Mirage! (mirage, mirage)
Look at me, I'm not even there.
Mirage! (mirage, mirage)
Close your eyes and I'm everywhere.
Reach for it gone.
Turn around gone.
Baby, I'm the fever, not the cure,
you don't catch a mirage. You just burn.

[Verse 2]

Palm on the wall, forehead on the cold glass,
you been chasing something that was never gonna last. (never)
And you like it. That's the sick part, baby, that's the twist
you don't want to catch me, you want to stay like this.

Desert in my eyeliner, midnight on my tongue,
every place you look for me is somewhere I just was.
I don't do the closing distance, I do the ache,
I'm the thing you dream about the second you're awake.

Perfume in the hallway three minutes after I left,
that's the closest that you get, and honey that's a gift.
Some things aren't for holding. Some things are for *wanting*.
Learn the difference, baby. It's the only lesson coming.

[Whisper Interlude]

You know what a mirage actually is?

It's real light. Real air. Real heat.
Just... bent.

Everything you're feeling right now
it's not fake.
It's just not where you think it is.

...try again.

[Drop 2]

Mirage...
(so slow now)
Feel it in your knees?
Mirage...
That's the ground moving, not me.
Don't look for it
let it come to you.
...or don't.
Either way, you're mine tonight.

[Outro]

...still hot out here.
(still hot...)
...still nothing there.
(...nothing...)

Told you.
