about

A smiling shell is nonetheless a shell.

lyrics

Where I used to see the grey
now there is only black and white
How I used to see myself
suddenly, I have no sight

Place myself upon the altar
take which pieces what you will
Hopes and dreams remain broken
potentiality unfulfilled

Fell out of touch with Mercury
was trying so hard to appease
Cutting, twisting, hiding just to suit your needs
and somehow, I lost me

Where I'd take to mountains for company
now I'm living in my head
How I used to talk to a god
who lately wouldn't know were I alive or dead
Seem to have lost my Mercury
was trying so hard to appease
Cutting, twisting, hiding just to suit your needs
and somehow, I lost me

Where did I go?
Iron casing with little spirit contained within
Winged boy, is there a reason you don't visit at night?
Where did I go, and was this renunciation worth it?
To set the queen so safely aside

Touch me with caduceus
seeking out this double thing
Moon's reflection guide me towards that
neverending ring
I have lost my Mercury
was trying so hard to appease
Cutting, twisting, hiding just to suit your needs
Do I finally suit your needs?
'cause somehow, I lost me
