[Intro]
\nIt’s a mirage
\n(All smoke and mirrors)
\nA collage of horrors<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nNo way to quench thirst
\nA barren desert
\nDid the nightmare burst
\nAll our fears… avert?<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt’s a mirage
\n(All smoke and mirrors)
\nA collage of horrors
\nSelf-sabotage
\n(Perpetuate fear)
\nBring The End near<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nClear the mirage
\n(Begin again)
\nBreak free
\n(From what you think you see)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWhat do you think you see
\nTurning of a new page?
\nHate to burst your fantasy
\nThis ain’t The Golden Age<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt’s a mirage
\n(All smoke and mirrors)
\nA collage of horrors
\nSelf-sabotage
\n(Perpetuate fear)
\nBring The End near<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nClear the mirage
\n(Begin again)
\nBreak free
\n(From what you think you see)<\/p>\n
