Mirage Money

[Verse] Gold chain dreams in a rental Benz, Slick talk charm with some well-placed friends. Wristband highs and a handshake deal, Sunset views that don’t feel real. Poolside pose with a hollow smile, Every click just adds to the pile. Thought it’d glow when I got this far — But the light just burns in a borrowed car. [Chorus] Mirage money — looks rich, feels fake, Caught in the heat where the real hearts break. Sold the soul for a parking pass, Now I sip regret from a champagne glass. You can’t cash out what you can’t hold tight — Just dust in the wind dressed up in light. [Verse] Glass towers shine but they cast no shade, Another name drop, another masquerade. Talk in circles, laugh on cue, Trade one mask for a better view. Vibes on lease, and the rent comes steep, Late-night highs but the dreams don’t keep. I chased the sun ‘til the heat went dead, Burned through gold just to end up red. [Chorus] Mirage money — looks rich, feels fake, Caught in the heat where the real hearts break. Sold the soul for a parking pass, Now I sip regret from a champagne glass. You can’t cash out what you can’t hold tight — Just dust in the wind dressed up in light. [Bridge] Every name tag smile, every rooftop lie, Built on sand with a champagne sky. Laughed too loud just to drown the doubt, Now the music fades and the mask wears out. I traded depth for a neon crown — All shine, no soul, and it’s draggin’ me down. [Verse] Now I walk past velvet ropes like smoke, Learned the script but I’m done with the joke. Tired of flash without any fire, Of sellin’ dreams just to half-inspire. I want dirt, I want real, I want sweat and skin, Not plastic grins with a drink buy-in. Let the lights fade — I’ll find my way, Out where the tides wash the lies away. [Chorus - Final] Mirage money — looks rich, feels fake, Caught in the heat where the real hearts break. Sold the soul for a parking pass, Now I sip regret from a champagne glass. You can’t cash out what you can’t hold tight — Just dust in the wind dressed up in light. [Outro] Just dust in the wind… Just dust in the wind… Can’t hold gold when the shine won’t stick, Mirage fades quick, mirage fades quick…
