Mercury Smile

It's been all the same

The wasted words

The way I'm feeling strange

Colours gone the way

Of empty rooms

And leaning over days

Letterbox in TV frame

I let you in, you'd do the same

And maybe I can laugh if off again

I love your mercury smile

It keeps me outta line

I try to simplify

The complicated kind

I got an alibi

If you're so inclined

Everything is beautiful

I don't know why it had to be this way

I recall the blame

The failing terms, the light revealing stain

A fabric starts to frey

With every line of thought begins decay

Letterbox in TV frame

No reaction to a claim

It made me laugh so I can start again

Falling in disgrace, listen to the laughter

What a terrible waste. I can hardly wait
