Mercury Rising Lyrics

How sad, this is what your life has been reduced to
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh)
A single room apartment containing no more than a mattress
How sad when the strings have been removed from the blinds and all the outlets have been painted over
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion)
And the television screen is streaked with blood smeared from your knuckles as you were trying to punch it out
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh)
But you underestimated its strength, or maybe you just weren't trying hard enough
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion)
Startled by a knock at the door you rise for the first time in two days to answer, but you can only greet the visitor with one short statement
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh)
Hello my first name is
Distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion)
Hello my name is
Distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh)
Hello
I really don't care if I never wake up again
I really don't care if I never wake up again
(Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
