MERCURY EARTH

Alone I stand
A growing vacancy inside
I wish I could divide
Cut me in half
I'd be my own friend
I would never leave me
Like you promised
I'd make it through
If that was true
Then where are you?
Where are you?

Throw your face
In the reflection of mine
I'd like to see you
Just one more time

Knock your head
Against the wall
Over and over
At length it will break
You won't feel it first
But it will break
And slowly bring you down
Down on your knees
And all the way to the ground
You may try to stand
But you'll never make it
No one makes it alone

As I wait I feel the sun
Shining on my peeled skin
Transparent beauty from heaven
A touch of faith
Hope in bloom
But inside out
And nothing takes
It pass me by
Like sand in hands
And leaves me back
Into dark holes
Dug by vicious moles
That always controles
The way I live
And now they say
Just stay below
Until the end
The day you die
You may come up
And kiss the sky
Be reborn and live again
Through hell one more time
"Just one more time" they say

That was so great!
"Be reborn and live again
Through hell one more time
"Just one more time" they say"
I loved those lines.  They really showed heart.
