Mercury Smile

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