Lyrics
Intro - Acoustic guitar with light percussion
Verse 1
Walking alone through waves of sand
The sun beats down...
on empty forgottenland...
I see your shape up ahead of me
But when I run, you seem to flee...
Pre-Chorus
Like water slipping through my hands
I chase what I don't understand
The air starts shifting, burning bright
Stars falling in the broad daylight
My feet won't stop, they pull me near
To what I want but what I fear...
Chorus
When did your mirage become my truth?
When did the stars align with you?
When did your mirage become my truth?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Verse 2
The desert fades to endless space
Time bends and moves at its own pace
Your form dissolves in starlit rain
My heart beats out your name again
Every step leads me higher still
Past what is real, past every hill...
Bridge -Poetic Spoken
The line between earth and sky
Dissolves before my eyes
What once was sand is now stardust
What once was thirst is now trust
I'm caught between two worlds tonight
One foot on ground, one in flight
Is this the path I'm meant to find?
Are you the answer in my mind?...
Chorus
When did your mirage become my truth?
When did the stars align with you?
When did your mirage become my truth?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Final Chorus
When did your mirage become my truth?
When did the stars align with you?
(When did the desert turn to space?)
When did your mirage become my truth?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
(What am I supposed to do?)
