Mercury Crossing - Sell Sell Sell

I liked being your dream
better than being your reality.
‘Cause reality is
I can’t be what you need, no.
            And I’m having a hard time
            dealing with reality.

Use the pieces that fit
and throw the others away.
I keep replaying each moment
to try to piece it together.
            Sweet serenity coming to me
            like a bullet to the chest.

Chorus: Sex it up and sell it;
            you’ll never pay the price.
            Apparently dignity isn’t worth a dime
            and classy isn’t selling.
            So sex it up and sell yourself.
            Yeah, sex it up and sell yourself.

I keep watching TV
and I don’t know what’s going on.
Since when does empowerment
involve taking off your clothes?
            Yeah, you feel sexy
            until you start degrading yourself.

I’ve turned to all the wrong things
to try to self-medicate.
And I’m just waiting for the scars
to fade into my skin.
            So you won’t notice all the things
            that are wrong with me.

Chorus

Bridge: Sell sell sell x2
            Sell your body and your soul—
            the only things you truly own…
            Sell sell sell x 4

            Black and red, color me in,
            color me, color me red.
            Cuz I haven’t quite, haven’t quite,
            haven’t quite had enough yet.

Oh no, what was I thinking?
I need to get out of here.
I’m looking for a window;
I’m looking for a way out.
            Escape artist, call me out—
            It’s too late, it’s too late now.

Chorus
