Solo demo for the song Mercury. Featured on the Death and the Maiden album, Wisteria, 2018.

lyrics

In the wastes of mercury,
these little lives are floating,
small mouths inhaling water,
lungs fill up with silver,
and turn into a fossil,
I'm feeling more expensive,
so it can't be that bad for my health

There's a storm in skull lately,
the rain looks like you,
when you come home and sit, in a separate room,
and if I put my back into it,
maybe I can sell it,
spine like the center of a moth
