The Mirage in the Hills

V5

I built a palace on a silver hill Where the shadows dance and the world is still You were the anchor in my drifting soul The missing piece that made the broken whole But the architecture was a house of cards Built on the secrets of a thousand yards I saw the truth in a stranger's eyes Behind the curtain of your golden lies. I almost reached for the bottle again To drown the ghost and to kill the pain But the signal’s calling from a deeper place Beyond the memory of your perfect face. Oh, I lost myself in the dream of you! A beautiful mirage that wasn't true! The tears are falling like the morning rain But I’m rising up through the hollow pain! Oh, the station’s back and the heart is clear I’m moving forward from the shadows here! It’s a long way down but a better climb I’m taking back my soul and my time! From the marble halls to the empty bed I’m clearing out the echoes in my head You traded "us" for a temporary spark Leaving me to find my way through the dark But I’ve been in the gutter, I’ve been in the cage I know how to turn the final page My music is the medicine, the sound is the cure The rhythm is steady and the heart is sure. I cried for the love that I thought we had For the good, the beautiful, and the bad But every tear is a drop of light Burning a hole in the middle of the night! Oh, I lost myself in the dream of you! A beautiful mirage that wasn't true! The tears are falling like the morning rain But I’m rising up through the hollow pain! No more mirage... Just the signal... Aura Station...
