Mercury Lyrics by Desires

The One You Feed

2016

[Verse 1]
You left me hanging with my head down
Feet swinging, I'd rather drown
You say you have the sustenance, I see nothing heaven sent. Where did I go wrong? Where did I go wrong?
There's nothing crystal fucking clear to show me I’ll be strong
But I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

[Chorus]
My blood is made from mercury
What shines for you is killing me

[Verse 2]
Where is there meaning left when all we know is broken? Shadows are all I see
How do we cope with loss when all our words are spoken? This is not all I will be

[Chorus]
My blood is made from mercury
What shines for you is killing me
Lay into me, pray you're through me
See my death, see right through me
Cut me quick but, do it deep
Cause time will heal or I’m assuming
That this is the turning point for all that I have felt

[Bridge]
This is a open letter to my sanity
I swear that all that she has taken from you no longer will be. Because I’ve done too much to hurt myself
And now I'm left with nothing else
The book you read sits on a shelf, it's time for me to grow

Page one

[Outro]
I've found the time to look into myself
I swear, I will feel things I have not already felt
