Somewhere inside the cactus
is the mirage that you are not.
its the villain who got caught
who is that thing lost in your thoughts.

Sitting wet with sunrise
and surprised it it cant be taught
its disguised as what its not
its the mirage that you are not(mirage of what uve got)

(All those things u have
are just the things that u have bought
and we laugh and laugh and laugh
that youre the theif who has been caught)
That thing that you have
is just a thing that you have bought
and we laugh and laugh and laugh
til the sun decides to stop.

Cuz nothing is for free.
It can only be your fault
you were shot out of a cannon
into a shopping cart to shop.

(Looking for only what you see
Your tree's devoid of moss
Steady heading true north
A fool ready to pay the cost)

(Looking for only what u see
Steady heading north
A fool ready to pay the cost
Of staying on his course)

Digging through the gold
Only Looking for the Lead.
Cuz alchemy is treason
To the villain in your head.

Uve seen it on ur radio
Heard it on ur tv set
That youre the one who prospers
By paying off ur debt.

Ur moneys rotting paper
(Built by)a Dying god who's Left
So you put coins on its eyes
so you can commit one last theft.

Ure spirit has gone viral(smells of virus)
When you near it you grow sick(ill)
And you shrink inside ur body
And blame ur spirit for its ****.

U were a stolen moment.
A cactus prophesy.
Just a vision in your future. Saying
"U were Foolish. Blind. A Theif."

The villain in your story
As your morning set out to sea
And the sun, it couldnt teach you
All the things that it taught me.
