Mercury Rising Lyrics - From Autumn To Ashes

How sad, this is what your life has 

Been reduced to a single room apartment 

Containing no more than a mattress 

How sad when the strings have been 

Removed from the blinds 

And all the outlets have been painted over 

And the television screen is streaked 

With blood smeared from your knuckles 

As you were trying to punch it out 

But you underestimated your strength 

Or maybe you just weren't trying hard enough 

Startled by a knock at the door 

You rise for the first time in two days to answer 

But you can only greet the visitor with one short statement
