Will Stratton - Mercury Id Blues Lyrics
I've been pacing here all decade for youCan you feed me nice and slowLike I'll never eat again,It's true you knowI've been rootless, possessed by what I can't findNow I'm useless, in love out of my mindMy friends shake me and they sayDon't you speak too soon, my WilliamThis might not stayBut I scorn them and replyThat it matters not one whitWhat lives and diesI've been restless, caressed by eaves so tallNow I'm bested, a trophy on a wallWill I ever have another like you?Don't you dare tell me the truthI'd rather spend the rest of my lifeTrying in vain to reel in that lineWhen water is the only proofMaybe nothing can compareBut I'll sit here catching nothing,There's nothing thereAnd I'll dream here, only youComing in and out of focusBlack and blueI've been senselessMercury on my handsI'm defenselessAgainst my id's demands
