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 a 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
