Mirage

Awoke in heat, it's unbearable
But I climb the hill
And the sands are burning
They're bending circuits in sand castles
Stealing minerals
So the world keeps turning

They take and they take 'til it's gone
When metal meets sand, something's wrong
But they won't get caught
Because I forgot, it's a mirage
It's a mirage, it's mirage

Blistering feet, it's a miracle
They survived at all
When they keep returning
They're chasing riches and changing rules
And we've all been fooled
The machine keeps learning

They take and they take 'til it's gone
When metal meets sand, something's wrong
But they won't get caught
Because I forgot, it's a mirage
It's a mirage, It's a mirage
It's a mirage, It's a mirage
