Have Mercy

Who could tell

You can't smell poison in a perfumed well

So I fell

Into a softly-padded empty shell

Forged in hell

Bought by you to sell

I was high

But I remember when you treated me fine

So unkind

You broke my cellar and you drank my wine

Now same in kind

The course - once yours - is mine

Oh, baby

Can't you see what you've done to me?

Oh, baby

Can't you see what you've done to me?

You baby

Have mercy

On me

I've clung to the glove that your

Hand slipped out of

It's empty as the love I

Mistook for a gift from above

Wrapped in flesh

I toss and turn upon this concrete bed

Bathed in red

I scrape for reasons but they turn to lead

And rot instead

Like a landfill in my head

Oh, baby

Can't you see what you've done to me?

Oh, baby

Can't you feel what you've done to me?

You baby

Have mercy

On me

I'm still clutching the glove that your

Hand slipped out of

It's black as the love I mistook

For a gift from above
