[Verse 1] She lives where the daylight never sleeps A barren heart with secrets underneath She keeps her distance from the burning sun Still she follows it wherever it runs She knows the weight of an empty sky Knows how to burn, knows how to hide Nothing stays, nothing settles down She keeps on moving without leaving the ground [Chorus] Mercury Burning on one side Mercury Cold where the light dies She keeps turning Between fire and night Mercury Nowhere feels right [Verse 2] She carries scars that the years left behind But there’s no wound that the eye can find She takes the heat, then she disappears Into the shadows where the cold stays near She’s always close, but she’s never there Caught between wanting and not wanting to care Every answer comes with another doubt Every way in feels like a way out [Chorus] Mercury Burning on one side Mercury Cold where the light dies She keeps turning Between fire and night Mercury Nowhere feels right [Bridge] Maybe she was never meant to choose Maybe there’s nothing left to lose The same light that keeps her alive Is the same light she can’t survive [Final Chorus] Mercury Burning on one side Mercury Cold where the light dies She keeps turning Between fire and night Mercury Nowhere feels right [Outro] Still turning Still caught between Fire and night
