Mercy

They gave me a name before I spoke a word

How could they have known how I was meant to be heard?

Everyone I know has left me on my own

So who am I beyond the weight of these bones?

Why am I still waiting for some mercy to rain down on me

And free these roses

From their dirty seeds

I’m tangled in weeds

And there’s a silver sickle moon

Hanging over me

Crazy eyes, crazy hours

Crazy mind set to devour

All of my time

And leave me blind

Stripped of my power

Crazy world, you gave birth to me

Can’t break the chain, can’t break the sea

I’m up like most,

All night with the ghosts

Just killing the hours

Why am I still waiting for some mercy to rain down on me

And free these roses

From their dirty seeds

I’m tangled in weeds

And there’s a silver sickle moon

Hanging over me

Why am I still waiting for some mercy to rain down on me

And free these roses

From their dirty seeds

I’m tangled in weeds

And there’s a silver sickle moon

Hanging over me
