lyrics

Water and sunlight will do just fine
I don’t need roots to feel like I’m
A valid human, ticking boxes
Married, kids, a top floor office
Softer every time I swim
Dip my skin into a mercury ocean
A mercury ocean

Been using soap to clean my soul
I noticed how much more I grow
From rolling in the mud and sand
Grabbing moss with both my hands
Softer every time I swim
Dip my skin into a mercury ocean

Into a plain white sky
In a place where I can see the
Rain drops bouncing
Like the sky and the sea are all just one
Endless sky
A little like i’ve died and gone to
Heaven or I just fell in love with mercury that night

Something’s not right when the day speaks to me at night
It climbs into my bed, flashing pictures like a TV set

I’m gonna cling to whatever, sing to whatever
Stand on my head for the clearest view
And when I notice the colour is fading to black
I’m gonna dip my skin into

A mercury ocean
A mercury ocean

Into a plain white sky
In a place where I can see the
Rain drops bouncing
Like the sky and the sea are all just one
Endless sky
A little like i’ve died and gone to
Heaven or I just fell in love with mercury that night
