Title:
“Clockwork Mirage”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Em G D A
Casting shadows in the neon light,
Em G D A
Living a dream in the dead of night.
Em G D A
In the city that never sleeps,
Em G D A
We find solace in the secrets we keep.
[Chorus]
Em G D A
Clockwork mirage, time’s cruel facade,
Em G D A
In the dance of illusion, we find our God.
Em G D A
Clockwork mirage, we’re in the stage,
Em G D A
In the theater of dreams, we cage our rage.
[Verse 2]
Em G D A
Under the neon lights, secrets unfold,
Em G D A
In the city’s heart, lies stories untold.
Em G D A
The clock ticks, unraveling time,
Em G D A
In the labyrinth of life, we search for the divine.
[Chorus]
Em G D A
Clockwork mirage, time’s cruel facade,
Em G D A
In the dance of illusion, we find our God.
Em G D A
Clockwork mirage, we’re in the stage,
Em G D A
In the theater of dreams, we cage our rage.
