Mercury Lyrics

Why can't we live the life we used to live
Before we followed them in the deepest valley
Out of the faith we keep
Now we're two wounded sharks
Sinking like bait in a mercury sea
Children and soldiers, rattling bones
Weak and ignorant, youth I suppose is a treasure spent
Whatever comes your way
All the promises that we've made
Rising until you can reach me my friend
And you'll sleep when you're dead
Swimming until you can see land
Swimming until you can touch me with your hand

d***ed if we don't, d***ed if we do
Battered and sore, we'll follow you in every step you take
Whatever comes your way
All the promises that we've made
Rising until you can reach me my friend
And you'll sleep when you're dead
Swimming until you can see land
Swimming until you can touch me with your hand

Look in my eyes
Guess what I mean, sort it out through the fire
You and I'll be gone, oblivion
We used to wait
We used to wait but the light came too late
Now we're blinded by the sun, oblivion

And whatever comes our way
Rise until we fade away
And whatever comes your way
Swim until you can touch me with your hand
And whatever comes our way
Rise until we fade away
And whatever comes my way
I'm right here you can touch me with your hand
