Mercury Smile

It's been all the same The wasted words The way I'm feeling strange Colours 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
