Mercury Light

[Verse 1]  
The floor was cold, the room was wide  
You moved with shadows by your side  
I didn’t ask, you didn’t stay  
The light was slow to turn away  

You touched the frame but not the glass  
And left before the questions passed  

[Chorus]  
Mercury light, the morning bends  
Around the place where silence ends  
You looked but didn’t close the door  
Like you’d been there and less and more  
Mercury light — a silver fade  
Where all our choices start to trade  

[Verse 2]  
The hallway buzzed with neon sleep  
I walked, but couldn’t make it deep  
Your shoes were gone, your coat remained  
Like something not yet fully named  

The clock kept time we didn’t hear  
And wrote you out from atmosphere  

[Chorus]  
Mercury light, the morning bends  
Around the place where silence ends  
You looked but didn’t close the door  
Like you’d been there and less and more  
Mercury light — a silver fade  
Where all our choices start to trade  

[Bridge]  
Some rooms are made for letting go  
But only when the sky says no  
You left a scent i can't erase  
A part of time i still retrace  

[Outro]  
Mercury light still haunts the floor  
But never asks for something more
