Mercury from Mercury by Adria Ramos

Watching for cars like the girl I used to be
Headlights in the fog watching you shine on me
Tripping madness, sanity sighs
Wait for me just like last time
And we’ll drive away
Drive away

Lights are on, somebody’s home
It cuts the blackness and I play your song
You ride beside me every night
Blackness warmer than the light
And we’ll drive away
Drive away

And I rise to your occasion, expand in your heat
My poison to yours, whatever you need
I’m restless and powerless to stay in one place
How far into crazy can I drive on one tank?
I'll let you know how high the mercury rises

Air slips like liquid. Stars flash chrome
It pulls me over before I make home
But I walk and I watch
And I hold out my hands to your quicksilver

I understand that poison you can't put down will drive you mad
But I’ve been here before, I’m used to that
I’m somehow more than I used to be
Filling a space much too large for me
I can only drive away
Drive away

Drive away with me
You drive me mad
I’ll be anything you want from me
Any shape, any time, any place, anywhere
Fill any void I didn’t know was there

And I rise to your occasion, expand in your heat
My poison to yours, whatever you need
I’m restless and powerless to stay in one place
How far into crazy can I drive on one tank?
I'll let you know how high the mercury rises

Watching for cars like the girl I used to be
Headlights in the fog watching you shine on me
Tripping madness, sanity sighs
Wait for me just like last time

And if the sunrise, like headlights
Everyone sees through
I’ll squint my eyes, I will too
And I’ll drive away
Drive away
