The Republic Of Wolves - Mirage lyrics

I once met a man With spotted skin and leopard hands He said you were not far from here The edges were close I saw the wake a golden coast And then I saw your sails just floating on the surface Now it's hard to believe That someone can leave And then suddenly reappear A mirage of your trust, imagined and lost Of a ghost who's been standing right here Well I fought through the ice But fell to needled skinny flies They s**ed out my blood And replaced it with black water! The closer I get to boiling over My skin's crawling off of my bones Now it's hard to believe That someone can leave And then suddenly reappear A mache of your trust, folded and cut Into a mask that I've got to wear I was cold, dripping wet (it was worth it for you) I was so out of breath (it was worth it for you) Now I'm practically dead (and it was all for you) All the wars that you set, it was worth it for you All the lives that I left, it was worth it for you Now I'm practically dead, and it was all for you
