"mercury" lyrics

Coming off of your mercury
I'm eclipsed by the light
Soaking up all your perjury
For the sake of my pride

All of these signs I chose to ignore
(You said you wouldn't)
You don't have a place for me anymore

But why'd you have to go on and lead me?
Why'd you have to go?
Time forever spent slowly fleeting
Where'd tomorrow go?

Coming out of the surgery
I dissected the scars
And rewired the circuitry
Where you took me apart

Used to be brave enough to be sure
(I thought you wouldn't)
But I don't have an answer left anymore

But why'd you have to go on and lead me?
Why'd you have to go?
Time forever spent slowly fleeting
Where'd tomorrow go?

Why'd you have to keep me believing?
Just to leave me low
Time forever spent slowly fleeting
Where'd tomorrow go?
