lyrics

Mercury’s in retrograde again
and oh! Don’t I feel like her?
burning from the venom of your words
running in endless circles
oh these planetary gears must be wearing on your fears
life lived on the edge of a black hole
swallow up my light
till there’s nothing inside
did the stars align and drain the love
right from your eyes?
where does love go when it dies?
when the plot twist reveals this fairytale
to be a verbose goodbye
Mercury’s in retrograde again
keep your faith based religion
never thought I’d see you
sacrifice your heart to a new moon
faith in the unknown
no faith in you
you’ve said it so much I’ve lost faith in me too
but I was the girl who’d walk through fire for you
just a shell of my former self
bleeding out from invisible wounds
and I’ll disappear here
become a melody
haunted by the memory of someone you once knew
oh these planetary gears must be wearing on your fears
life lived on the edge of a black hole
swallow up my light
till there’s nothing inside
did the stars align and drain the love
right from your eyes?
where does love go when it dies?
when the plot twist reveals this fairytale
to be a verbose goodbye
Mercury’s in retrograde again….
