Mercury In the Water |
| I can taste the mercury in the water |
| A bitter blessing bestowed |
| We have less hope than holding candles to the wind |
| And more pride than common men |
| With an arsenal of faith and theories never proven |
| We’ll be gone before morning comes |
| But I’ll take comfort that justice has been served |
| We got exactly what we deserved |
| The stakes are high |
| When you say goodbye I’ll say goodnight |
| I’m not fond of common endings |
| Reprieve, we’ll be baptized in puddles of water and blood |
| We’ll betray our fathers for the way of the gun |
| So let’s start the countdown |
| I have been patient, you have been nothing but trouble (but trouble dear) |
| Scribbled on paper with traces of thought being oh, so clear |
| Wide awake for the first time in days |
| Transcending illusions of passion and hate |
| Lucid and beautifully staged |
| Bow before the empty throne that’s before you |
| Protect those children and strive |
| To be the leader of an un-armed militia |
| That’s blessed but mute, deaf, and blind |
| Another year, we’ll be immune to the poisons |
| And we can proclaim our lives |
| But falling short is inevitably written |
| So sit back and die more inside |
| Three can keep a secret if two are dead |
| So let’s start the countdown |
| I have been patient, you have been nothing but trouble (but trouble dear) |
| Scribbled on paper with traces of thought being oh, so clear |
| Wide awake for the first time in days |
| Transcending illusions of passion and hate |
| Lucid and beautifully staged |
| I’ve lost so many battles inside my head |
| I’m afraid I’m gonna lose the war |
| And I’m starting to take comfort hanging a white flag |
| Than trying to endure anymore |
| I haven’t slept in so many days, that my body, my body aches |
| I’m thinking about joining the rest of my friends |
| Because eternal sleep seems to be the latest trend |
| We’re playing life like a sport |
| These battles are trying, and our time in life is short |
| No signs of vitals, and I can’t take anymore |
| I’m standing my ground, and I will still speak of love |
| Even when I know, it has lost its meaning |
| So let’s start the countdown |
| I have been patient, you have been nothing but trouble (but trouble dear) |
| Scribbled on paper with traces of thought being oh, so clear |
| Wide awake for the first time in days |
| Transcending illusions of passion and hate |
| Lucid and beautifully staged |
