[ Featuring the Lizard Wizard ]
There's a place I wanna go
'Cause my ma and pa, they fight at home
And though my feet may never grace the sand
It helps to give me hope
Where the waters froze super-liminally
And where tachyons fly heavenly
Where Chang'e plays her silver strings
They call it MC
What would it mean to be a beam
Travelling like lightning
Across cosmic ravine into the city I have seen
In the neither of my eye, the skyline
At once there, out of line
To see that picture in my mind
And focus on the lens of time
Waves crashing down like a lion pride roar
Beyond the break, a heavenly haze that shimmers in the open water
A fortune teller never predicted this in a crystal ball
Is that a city driftin' from afar or a reflection mirage?
In the mirror ripples, I get lost
Wonderin' 'bout my ma and pa in the little town where I'm from
If only I could swim or sail across
To the mirage city where my prayers are answered by the lord
I can't wait to leave this nightmare behind
I see it so clearly now, you're springtime and I'm ice
So I leave you with a message that I wrote (it says)
Your shadow ain't burned into my soul anymore
So I follow the crow (bird on the road)
And the prey of eagles (chained to my throat)
I ain't sufferin' no more
But it's just a mirage in the wind disappearin'
Yeah, so I build my own chimera and face up to it's hate
I'm sick of being a scared little cunt that sleeps through all my dreams
I'm done with this city and the hurt that it's caused
Reflection on the back of my shirt
I'm done treading water in the sea of doubt
I ain't a backpacker caught in a rip, yeah
I'll die if I stay here, reborn if I leave
It's time for me to say goodbye to mirage city (woo, yeah)
