Quicksilver Lyrics by MC Mantra

Telling Scenes

2013

(Verse 1)
You were speaking another language
That my heart wasn't understanding'
Now speech was becoming frantic
What can I say? I'm a romantic
I'm attracted to disappointment
Like i planted a fly in the ointment
Just to puncture what I had enjoyed building with you in a moment of annoyance
If it ever taught me anything it's that I should never listen to my inner voices
If I ever I hope to avoid being a victim of ill-advised choices
Poison, so paranoid of strange noises
How they were putting place in destroy us
I couldn't recognise, I was choosing to employ them
It's on me, for making the wrong move
I was taking the long way home when I put it all on you
You were paying for my mood
Pretty soon you were outta comments see
You were done with me, you turned
Until the back of you, was the only thing I had in front of me

(Chorus)
The more I try to hold you in my arms
The more you would slip away
If only I eased the grip of my palms
Then perhaps you'd have chosen to stay


(Verse 2)
I was by myself and I did it by myself
Thought I didn't love you, but I did, I just didn't like myself
So I have to find myself, try to redefine myself
Read the fine print see what I'm missing really redesign myself
I could never cry for help or seek you out for guidance
For the fear that you might recognize
Weakness disguised as kindness
Those sleepless nights remind me
Of that peace you tried providing
When my peace of mind was hiding
I couldn't see my eyes were blinded
You saw deep inside my Iris, witnessing my very soul
Looking beyond anything I'd ever been able to hold
You were bold
Taking it all in, climbed unafraid of the fallin'
But by the break of the morning you were morning
I never saw your warnings
I ignored what I was ignoring when I was touring and wasn't calling
We wouldn't talk anymore til I got back home
It was then that I started performing
A storm between you and I, we're warring and now it's do or die
It's either self sabotage of social suicide

(Chorus)
