Mercury Rising Lyrics

Mercury Rising lyrics

Every breath that I exhale is a sigh -
every breath that I exhale is a sigh
of exhaustion.
[repeating throughout]
How sad - this is what your life
has
been reduced to - a single room apartment containing no more than a
mattress.
The strings have been removed from the blinds and all the outlets
have been
painted over. The television screen is streaked with blood smeared
from your
knuckles as you were trying to punch it out but you underestimated
its
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. Hello I
really
don't care if I never wake up again. I really don't care if I never
wake up
again.
