Mercury Smile

It's been all the same
The wasted words
The way I'm feeling strange
Colors gone the way
Of empty rooms
And leaning over days

Letterbox in TV frame
I let you in
You'd do the same
Credit photograph
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
Credit photograph
It made me laugh
So I can start again

Falling in disgrace
Listen to the laughter
What a terrible waste
I can hardly wait
