lyrics

i remember you when the day was new
thought your spirit would always show me light
mercury mirrors staring down the sky
no cap and gown no flower crown
no solemn grave just a reservoir of pain
for making snow on some sunny day

halfway done
whole less than parts of the sum
each day closer to the last
and everywhere
reminders of the past

you were swimming free when the tanker caught your side
and took another ancient life
an echo of the eocene
descending on your darkened form
a crowd of people on the shore held up their phones
cause they still wanted more

half undone
too many trips under the setting sun
each wave reflecting overcast
reminding me that it could be my last

halfway numb
weighing the cost of the long run
each bead of mercury must blend
each bead of the mercury man
