Mercury

This unholy temptation grows
It's an epidemic
Sweeping through my soul
Tell me my familiar
Should I dare to go
With my hand in his
An unfurling rose

Do good things come to those who wait
Or do they wait forever
We made a pact in blood and tears
That we could not be severed

Nerves run high and resistance low
And our misconceptions
They begin to show
But we're mercury
And with heat we roll
Back toward each other
To rejoin as whole

Do good things come to those who wait
Or do they wait forever
We made a pact in blood and tears
That we could not be severed
Though we trample every path
Though we stumble through the dark
Our souls are s'till joined at the seams
I would never take your dreams
Away
