Mirage of Light

The sun cracks open on the wall My shadow burns and tells me nothing at all The waves repeat in a warm delay Each breath comes back like faith on replay Neon on skin, bright promises glow Your eyes turn lies into roads I know Everything shines like it wants to burn And I still don’t know if I should return I dance inside the heat tonight My mirror begs to feel your light The whole world spins, unreal and bright A tropical mirage of light I dance inside the wrong design I know this paradise isn’t mine Plastic glow and hidden pain My digital heaven calls my name The sky sings blue above the shore The ocean breathes the youth I wore The wind tastes sharp with electric rain Your lonely hands start shaking again I lose myself in wires and faith The island cries, don’t drift away Each word melts down beneath the sun And time falls heavy on my tongue I dance inside the heat tonight My mirror begs to feel your light The whole world spins, unreal and bright A tropical mirage of light I dance inside the wrong design I know this paradise isn’t mine Plastic glow and hidden pain My digital heaven calls my name My body shakes, the rhythm lies No feeling waits behind the noise Through sweat and sparks, through gold and fire My faith burns out beneath desire I dance inside the heat tonight My mirror begs to feel your light The whole world spins, unreal and bright A tropical mirage of light I dance inside the wrong design I know this paradise isn’t mine Plastic glow and hidden pain My digital heaven calls my name
