Mercury

The dull light lingers The candle flickers Beside you in the red The beat of nameless songs The pulsing flame goes on I try to hear But I am not there I saw you for the first time today With nothing left in the way I've never felt this way before I fear I'll never feel this way again What do you need to feel from me Take what you want What do you see? On the ocean and beyond Amidst the others I'm waiting impatient An echoed existence The dull light lingers The candle flickers Beside you in the red The beat of nameless songs The pulsing flame goes on I try to hear But I am not there The faces unfamiliar I've never felt so close A flickered little moment that goes on That leaves me so sore
