about

Mercury Soul
Sometimes as fast as light, sometimes heavy as lead, they’re struggling against the tide of normality and convention in a small town. Their life feels like a bad fit.

lyrics

Lyrics
Mercury Soul
You close your eyes,
the waking dreams
are all too real.

Mercury Soul
No half-full glass,
you drank it down
and you want some more.

Mercury Soul
Want to be made whole
but being split
is all you know.

Mercury Soul
Your head is hot
but your eyes are cold,
you’ve got a Mercury Soul.

Mercury Soul
Your twisted smile
says every silver lining
has a cloud.

Mercury Soul
Technicolour highs
switch and your day ends
in black and white.

Mercury Soul
The lead-filled days
weigh down upon
a quicksilver mind.

Mercury Soul
You’re so hot
but the world grows cold,
you’ve got a Mercury Soul.

You’ve got a Mercury Soul.
