Zack Tharp - On Mercury With Amber Lyrics

She said that I'll be fine
But I guess I'm not

She said you've always told me
That you were going crazy
And I guess you finally showed me
When you laughed through your tears and spewed your bile at me

She said that I'd be fine
That she'd always want me in her life
I said to get out while she can
And I guess I won

So fill my skull up with mercury
Oh she does it so easily
But I'm a piss poor excuse
For the god of merchants and thieves

My stability's a fragile thing
A simple word sent me spiraling
My duality's a stable thing
If I don't dig them up they grow like weeds

So fill my skull up with mercury
Oh she does it so easily
But I'm a piss poor excuse
For the god of merchants and thieves

I've got eyes in the back my head
But they're pretty close to useless
Cuz all that they can see
Is the monster that follows, so close to sinking in its teeth

She said that I'd be fine
That she'd always want me in her life
I said to get out while she can
And I guess I won

I told her
Once I tried to kill god
He wouldn't stop ranting and raving
But old amber sent him crashing
The man I called god
Lied there vomiting his guts out
Turns out the poison that he fed himself
Couldn't scrape the bile from his mouth

I finally found god
He's in the coils of my guitar stings
In the straining of my vocal chords
Against oppressive silence crushing
The air from my lungs
Freezing the blood in my veins
Turning the the voices in my head
Into a cacophonous mess

Once I tried to kill god
I wouldn't stop ranting and raving
I thought myself infallible
But old amber sent me crashing

She said that I'd be fine
But I guess I'm not
(I proved her wrong)
