Mercury Rising

How sad, this is what your life has
Been reduced to a single room apartment
Containing no more than a mattress

How sad when the strings have been
Removed from the blinds
And all the outlets have been painted over

And the television screen is streaked
With blood smeared from your knuckles
As you were trying to punch it out
But you underestimated your strength
Or maybe you just weren't trying hard enough

Startled by a knock at the door
You rise for the first time in two days to answer
But you can only greet the visitor with one short statement

Hello my first name is distance
And I really don't care if I never wake up again
Hello my name is distance
And I really don't care if I never wake up again
And I really don't care if I never wake up again
And I really don't care if I never wake up again
