Mercury Lounge

Lyrics

Burn my pockets dry And cancel all my credit cards at Mercury Lounge And open up my phone My friend is missing and I just left town And then you scribble me out I smash up my guitar I ripped up every page Even the art I know that we're hurting But I am deserving Of some kind of closure I know you don't forget And I'll never forgive For I miss the summer You owe me my childhood The bitter years you taught me to hate myself The field of thorns You dragged me hand-first into Forced yourself into my head And forcing me into your arms When I fade will you forget me? Living is folly and death is empty Where does that leave you? Robbing me of sense of strength of love Leaving me, my eyes, my guts, my blood Animated by habit alone Petrified when the flame is gone When the hate is gone and the engine's blown Leave me by the wayside to fend for my own Wasting away in the Sunday paper Perish the thought that you ever cared I know that we're hurting But I am deserving Of some kind of closure I know you don't forget And I'll never forgive For I miss the summer
