Mercury

Sometimes we talk, we talk oh so much

Sometimes we talk, we talk so damn much

That we forget why we ever started talking

In the first, the first place

In a land of pirates, I'd be more concerned

With what comes from your mouth than what you put in

So flood your deck with quips fit for royalty

I bet your ship sinks with the wave of so many

Energy, by nature, breeds siamese perspectives

Divergent views on the surface underneath connected

And what a state we're in when we can't forgive anyone

For the same mistakes we've made ourselves a million

Times before we've begun

To place the blame on others' tongues

In a land of pirates, I'd be more concerned

With what comes from your mouth than what you put in

So flood your deck with quips fit for royalty

I bet your ship sinks with the wave of so many

We have begun to replace wisdom with vanity

And hold others accountable for the condition of our own feet

In a land of pirates, I'd be more concerned

With what comes from your mouth than what you put in

So flood your deck with quips fit for royalty

I bet your ship wrecked with the weight of so many

There's a battle in a backyard alley

Brothers fight over what's not there

These siblings will be sad to find that war is the winner

We keep fighting for position in a human race that never began

Where the start and the end are both made up of the same thin air
