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
