Swoope - Mirage lyrics

[Intro: Swoope] You are a god, you are a king Truth's a facade, you are supreme Believe what is real and poof goes the dream You are the spawn, you are the seed All that you see can be attained Just gas it up, then feed the flame If you should choose, you'll be the flame Who cares what you lose, you'll beat the game Embrace the d**h, this is the life Morning begins starting tonight So just shut your eyes, part with the light Nothing is wrong, this way is right [Hook: Bleecker & Swoope] Wake up, open your eyes The lies are in disguise Mirage Say hello to forever, goodbye to never All facades die, truth is forever Wake up, open your eyes The lies are in disguise Mirage Say hello to forever, goodbye to never All facades die, truth is forever [Verse 1: Swoope] Deception, infiltrating minds all around us Men, women, and children, civilians, out-of-towners Perception becomes reality in a town where The dreams that we drink are the waters that drown us Conception, as illusion Where the dream is conceived no contraception For the fluid So the child that is born is a life that is sworn to exceptions As delusions, hallucinations of America Yes yes this is hysteria, this is America Trends that we see, that alone's what we crave The land of the free, yet the home of the slave Land where the masters blast us with visions Through prisms of plasma screens Give all we got just to have that dream, to have that green Paid an arm and leg now we amputees Forget that we limpin' Homie this is livin', homie this is pimpin' Don't you see this chain on my neck How I make it rain with my check How I become famous for s** People know my name on the set Fly minus plane or a jet Pop champagne get it wet This fun is insane, but this gun's to my brain This vision of livin' is playin' roulette Facade that we believe, is all a big disease Fall into a dream, causin' us to sneeze Off to the ??? which evolve into a ??? The cost of this flossin' is causin' us to bleed Your chain, your name, the plane, champagne ??? your relief Enthralled by what we see, the snarl of the beast He crawls into our sheets, and lulls us all to sleep [Hook] [Verse 2: Swoope] Illusion, this is the genesis of our nemesis Slick spirited lyricist, k**in' it with the sentences Delusion, that there is unlimited benefits Fun, illicit privileges, joining in with the membership of lies Hostages, entrapment is our happiness With blindfolds over our eyes Ostriches with quackers And the plaster is disaster in a nice disguise Heads in the sands of time Tryin' to get ahead in this land of mine Not knowing that we stepped in a land of mines Ready to explode, if it's not exposed The wool's been pulled over your eyes What's cool is wolves in a disguise Posing as grandma, and all the grandeur Poison the camper, is what her plans are Hoping that you don't see the claws where her hands are Fronting with the grill and her grin where her fangs are Little Red is rising into a falsehood That the lights and the night life is all good That the Trinity doesn't exist as a trio Jesus can't save you, only trust the Neo But the Trinity does exist as a trio Jesus can save you, don't trust the Neo Displaced in the fake tricks of the matrix Set ablaze by the lasers from the spaceship And enslaved by the mind state of the agents That the sacred pages of the Rock of Ages are fables Who's the DJ? Who turned the tables? Who switched the labels? None of this makes sense, who switched to pesos? Who whispers life? Whose kiss is fatal? When did the life that Christ offered us become alternative? Only for the elderly and uptight conservatives When did eternity become the past? Why choose to fail in a life that will pa**? (Wake up, open your eyes) The enemy's imagery is meant to these Entering into the flickering flame So when freshness fades, the d**h will stay So don't a**ume that the darkness is light Cuz the ends will begin your morning tonight Don't a**ume that the darkness is light The ends will begin your morning tonight (Mirage) Say hello to forever, goodbye to never All facades die, truth is forever Wake up, open your eyes The lies are in disguise Mirage
