 Im too slow to release
To be seeking peace
An idea  thats foreign to me
Getting LOST to perfect getting free
The trouble i find 
Is the price i pay
To settle my mind 
Be on my way
The trouble I find
That's the price I pay
Like a deal that i signed 
A promise I made
You never answer the phone 
On fat tires in the dark alone
If the Skinny wires could touch my bones
Im sure those bones would explode
Bet that i never will  
Really like standing still
Stay too long my guts start to spill
 moving Target is harder to kill
Don't look my way and Think
I'LL be the first one to blink
Im practically  levitating
You're drowning in your drink
       You have some kind of face…
       Your face looks so kind.
       You have some kind of face…
       Your face looks kinda like mine. 
  i still think about it how Dumb
We weren't the same kind of young 
I can feel the earth flying around the sun
Holding on tight slows it down some
  If theres anything worth it to keep
Its The clean feeling of her feet 
After being wounded in the street
What kind of angel did I just meet

  
A wild desire burns
Out here on my own terms.
Painful mistakes make sure he learns. 
Life's hard enough without your judgment, concerns





Trouble I Find

AP Mercury: A Voice That Endures
​The songwriting alias of itinerant humanist Andrew Pendleton, AP Mercury crafts ballads that transcend genre. These are songs built on the foundation of the 20th-century American songbook, utilizing vivid lyrics and distinct harmonies to explore life's essential currents.
​His work focuses on overlooked characters and the fleeting, often painful, nature of existence. The music spans alternative rock, indie folk, and alt-country, presenting narratives of loss, love, solitude, and grief. There is a powerful undercurrent that confronts humanity's waste of its own paradise, championing kindness and community against betrayal and modern excess.
