Mirage Baby

Sounds of wind rustling through trees opens before the first verse. “Mirage Baby” whispered 3x

Verse 1:
In the depths of the shadows
In the haunting of the night
Where the whispers reach and pull you
To keep your soul out of your sight

Off in the far distance
You can see him drawing near
And he crawls his way closer
Charging into this frontier

Approaching at a rapid pace
Your eyes lock – This moment’s dire
You look him over, what a sight!
Wait… is that a pacifier?

Chorus:
Oh, he’s tiny and adorable
You want to cuddle this reality
But he is not as he appears
For he is nothing but a fantasy

Inverted reflections of different objects
Are why you think there’s a diaper to change
But even if you are in denial
No one’s there… It’s just a Mirage Baby

(whispered: Mirage Baby 4x)

Verse 2:
You run to him with much excitement
You see a diaper, hear a babble
But don’t be fooled as you advance
Or as you watch him shake his rattle

So pure and innocent you think of him
But beware of this manifestation
As he draws near it will become clear
That you’ll only have devastation

Much like you drank too much wine
And are drunk off your sauvignon
There is no babe, you vile knave!
Just an optical phenomenon

Chorus:
Oh, he’s tiny and adorable
You want to cuddle this reality
But he is not as he appears
For he is nothing but a fantasy

Inverted reflections of different objects
Are why you think there’s a diaper to change
But even if you are in denial
No one’s there… It’s just a Mirage Baby

Bridge: (Spoken quickly, staccato)
He’s only there to toy with you
Suck you in with giggles and coos
Remind you of your ticking clock
Make you wanna grow as fast as Jack’s beanstalk

You’d better hide, You’d better run,
If I were you, I’d get out of the sun
I’d also hydrate exorbitantly
Cuz he’s nothing more than… a mirage baby…

Chorus 2x

Don’t you trust it… Mirage Baby
