Lyric

Closer than anyone, right by your side

Watching the dreams that we couldn’t hide

I knew exactly what would start to unfold

If I touched your hand, if I dared to be bold

But like the blue sky, you were too bright to see

I turned my gaze, let the fear conquer me

Couldn’t be honest, so I broke the bond and fled

The oasis is gone, and the garden is dead

"I’ve forgotten yesterday," I lie with a grin

Wearing a mask to cover the sin

I knew how the mirror would show me the truth

A hollow reflection, the ghost of my youth

Wandering lost in the heart of the night

I’ll rot away now, far from the light

It’s useless to search, it’s a waste of my breath

The oasis is gone, it’s a desert of death

I stayed in a love that was cowardly and cold

Afraid of the stories that had to be told

I didn't want to break it, but I let it all rust

The oasis is gone, and I’m eating the dust

Swallowed by the river of time flowing by

Under the weight of a merciless sky

The oasis is gone, and the well has run dry

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

Nothing but sand

Buried inside

The mirage is over

Searching is futile

Nowhere... nowhere
