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
