Jay Bramhall I randomly heard "The Beginning" while out at the mall one day, in between more commonly heard songs. When I Shazamed it, I had no idea that a few hours later I would be playing its album on repeat for the next few days.

Mercurial World is one of those rare gems where you never want to hit the skip button. The songs are different in style yet meld so nicely with each other. I haven't enjoyed listening to an album this much since Anamanaguchi's Endless Fantasy. Favorite track: You Lose!.

The End 00:31
Matt, Matt Wake up! I was thinking about how there’s no True end to anything Everything comes from and goes to The same place: NOWHERE So, if The Beginning is the end and The End is the beginning, Then what’s the end anyway? Does that help you sleep better? Like the rosy haze of an apocalypse sky Or the comfort inside of a lie
2.
Hold me down to the earth When the storm’s right in front of us Tell me we’ll make it work You’re as sure as the stars on top of us ‘Cause it’s the way that you are Steady and sound when I feel so crazy The way that you are How could I doubt the obvious? We’re spinning around So let it rain down Living in a Mercurial World You’ll be around Always holding me down Living in a Mercurial World Kiss me right where it hurts Wash away all the fallen dust Worried I’ll make you worse But you’re teaching me how to trust in us ‘Cause it’s the way that we are Steady and strong when it’s all so crazy The way that we are So how could I doubt the obvious? We’re spinning around So let it rain down Living in a Mercurial World You’ll be around Always holding me down Living in a Mercurial World Only you and me Against the universe, baby Only you and me Against the universe Living in a Mercurial World Living in a Mercurial World

What’d she say about me? Hands in pockets so deep When I walk I see you stare White lockers dripping with despair Pooling around my feet Hold your breath and don’t speak Witnesses and zombies And the way they glare as empty as an Answering machine, no one to hear your dreams Na you don’t bother me I’m like electricity They say I’m dancing with my demons This is the Dawning of the Season Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers This is the Dawning of the Season What you heard about me? I see fire when I sleep I can disappear like drops of water Trembling in the heat No you won’t see me Na you don’t bother me I’m like electricity They say I’m dancing with my demons This is the Dawning of the Season Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers This is the Dawning of the Season Will we change? Will I be? Adolescent dreams Will we change? Will I be? Adolescent thieves They say I’m dancing with my demons This is the Dawning of the Season Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers This is the Dawning of the Season

You Lose! 03:24
You, you say You wanna go far away I wanna know the place you crave Is everything different or the same? I’m running out of my time A flower gone dry Your lips touching mine won’t do Only what’s left of my pride Could lust for a lie You aim, you attack, you lose You say that you trust in me And I say that I disagree I’m out of my time I’m lost in the crime Your lips touching mine won’t do Only what’s left of my pride Could fall for a lie You aim, you attack, you lose You Lose! You, you play But there are no winners in the game I wanna know the final stage Where we go when the curtain fades I’m running out of my time A flower gone dry Your lips touching mine won’t do Only what’s left of my pride Could lust for a lie You aim, you attack, you lose And you say that you trust in me And I say that I disagree And you say that you trust in me And I say that I disagree I’m out of my time I’m lost in the crime Your lips touching mine won’t do Only what’s left of my pride Could fall for a lie You aim, you attack, you lose I’m running out of my time I’m lost in the crime Your lips touching mine won’t do Only what’s left of my pride Could fall for a lie You aim, you attack, you lose You Lose! You Lose!

That girl knew all the ways To blow the whole world apart Yeah that was how she was But two years of dealing with her And lately I’ve had enough Of how I was, yeah I was Instinctively I know that I’ve Been changing all my colors I finally wrung out all the blues Been sweeping all the corners of My mind, up to the ceiling but It wasn’t all I’d do for you Don’t let it fall, let it fall down We could build something for two Or burn it down Instead of you keeping me out We could build something for two Or watch me drown That girl knows all the ways To make you laugh till it hurts Yeah she does, yeah she does Well that girl, believe it or not Is running all out of words Is it enough? Is it enough? Instinctively I know that I’ve Been changing all my colors I finally wrung out all the blues Been sweeping all the corners of My mind, up to the ceiling but It wasn’t all I’d do for you Don’t let it fall, let it fall down We could build something for two Or burn it down Instead of you keeping me out We could build something for two Or watch me It wasn’t all I’d do It wasn’t all I’d do Sweeping all the corners of my mind And we could build something for two We could build something for two So build it up or let it all fall down

Chaeri 04:17
Regrets The things I should’ve said Was I a bad friend? It was only that bad with you I’m sorry Did you feel lonely? I didn’t realize back then It was really that bad for you September started sweet Then winter got so mean The fruit left on my sheets If I could do it all again I would’ve said: Chaeri, please You’re killing me It’s only that bad, it’s only that bad If you tell yourself you’ll never get out of bed Forget The way things could’ve been Did I learn anything? It was only that bad with you September like a dream But winter got so mean The storm was underneath If I could do it all again I would’ve said: Chaeri, please You’re killing me It’s only that bad, it’s only that bad If you tell yourself you’ll never get out of bed 3, 4, down to the floor Lose control Little more 3, 4, down to the floor Lose control Little more Let it come alive Let it grow Better crucified Than alone Let it come alive Let it grow Better cut and dried Than unknown

Halfway 01:58
No matter where you start or where you end You are in between the Where and When You are in the middle of The Loop ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Do you feel half empty or half full? Is everything beautiful or dull? Flip a circle and the middle stays the same ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Halfway We’re halfway home Slow down The day’s boutta be gone The sun goes He sleeps until dawn Slow down The day is gone

Down the road where the kids don’t play alone Or in your home There’s a fog, it’s a shadow, a smoking gun That something is wrong Uh! Hysterical Us Sucking in oxygen How did we learn to breathe? Are we alone? Are we in love again? What do you want from me? Hysterical Us Checking the locks again Remember when we could sleep? Are we alone? Are we in love again? What do you want from me? Play it cool Play the man who won’t play the fool But they’re playing you Till in the sky 38 green blinding lights Are here to take you home Uh! Hysterical Us Sucking in oxygen How did we learn to breathe? Are we alone? Are we in love again? What do you want from me? Hysterical Us Checking the locks again Remember when we could sleep? Are we alone? Are we in love again? What do you want from me? You say I’m a winner A fanfare rising in the breeze I’d give it away for a reason To be... You say I’m a quitter Well it’s all I ever want to be I’ll throw it away for a glimmer Of something I could try to believe Hysterical Us Sucking in oxygen How did we learn to breathe? Are we alone? Are we in love again? What do you want from me? Hysterical Us Checking the locks again Remember when we could sleep? Are we alone? Are we in love again? What do you want from me? (I can’t seem to shake it The feeling that I’m breaking Just give me something I could believe Are we alone? Can't seem to shake it The feeling that I’m breaking Just give me something I could believe)

Prophecy 03:34
Always wanted to believe In some destiny to guide me Found no answers in my dreams No constellations that could show me Up until you floated down on a cloud I didn’t know, I didn’t know In your pure perfection I’ll never doubt Now I know, now I know Let’s lay here just a little longer Won’t you be my prophecy? You’re the only one I need When you’re lying next to me I don’t need no make believe Won’t you be my prophecy? You’re the only one I need When you’re lying next to me You’re so real and I believe Bury me in white sheets Neighbor’s music drifts through concrete With your arms around me I don’t ever want to be free Up until you floated down on a cloud I didn’t know, I didn’t know In your pure perfection I’ll never doubt Now I know, now I know Let’s lay here just a little longer Won’t you be my prophecy? You’re the only one I need When you’re lying next to me I don’t need no make believe Won’t you be my prophecy? You’re the only one I need When you’re lying next to me You’re so real and I believe

Follow the leader, the rabbit He needs it, he loves it Follow the leader, the rabbit (In the white trees tonight) He needs it, he loves it (You wanna take a bite?) You take the bait, take the bait Now will you try to stay awake? Stay awake Now do you see you took the bait, Took the bait? Now will you try to stay awake? Stay awake Awake, awake Follow the leader, the rabbit You need it, you love it He loves it when your eyes go ‘round And separate He loves it when your eyes go He loves it, he loves it! You take the bait, take the bait Now will you try to stay awake? Stay awake Now do you see you took the bait, Took the bait? Now will you try to stay awake?

Domino 03:42
I love a winner You bear your weight in gold Runt of the litter I’ll never bear my soul But ah... You dance, you dare, you move But you’re stone Oh ah... You dance, you dare, you move But you’re stone, you know So we say goodnight, say goodnight Is it by design, by design? Quién lo decidió? I don’t know Domino, ha ha Fall on the trigger The physics in control But ah... You dance, you dare, you move But you’re stone Oh ah... You dance, you dare, you move But you’re stone, you know So we say goodnight, say goodnight Is it by design, by design? Quién lo decidió? I don’t know Domino, ha ha

Picture Yoshino With pink petals floating in the air I wanna go there Train window facing east And you’re always next to me And I’m next to you I’m next to you Meet me in the Swiss countryside I saw a picture of it today And I wanna go before I die Big oceans blue, I want to see all the views ‘Cause there’s so much to do And I’m next to you I’m next to you Ooo I wanna see it with you No stopping, too much to do Dreamcatching Always with you Picture everything! The world at our fingertips And time for every trip For all the things we wanna try before we die ‘Cause there’s so much to do And I’m next to you I’m next to you Ooo I wanna see it with you No stopping, too much to do Dreamcatching Always with you We’re going everywhere! Too much to do Time with you stretches into the horizon Breaks in two, let it bend And see that anything could happen What to do? Time with you stretches into the horizon Breaks in two, let it bend And see that anything could happen

He was a lonely cynic No hero nor a villain inside Until he had a vision She had golden eyes and spoke her mind: “Now easy livin’, it sets you free! You’ll rediscover simplicity” His cynicism gave way to be Raindrops in every color So if you feel low Sit back, enjoy the show Like a kaleidoscope In technicolor tonight So if you think you’re finished Go back to The Beginning and find That everybody needs a little help From time to time Just look inside Now easy livin’, it sets you free You’ll rediscover simplicity ‘Cause cynicism gives way to be Raindrops in every color So if you feel low Sit back, enjoy the show Like a kaleidoscope In technicolor tonight Matt, go back to sleep I think I’ve finally got it all figured out Like a butterfly floating in amber We’ve made this moment: ETERNAL So if you feel low Sit back, enjoy the show Like a kaleidoscope In technicolor tonight Matt, Matt
