Expect no mercy in this world

They all want to drag you down

The challenge is to get up again, day by day

One day you will be on your knees

You will see the things I have seen

And the laughter will stick in your throat

You said calm down, try to hang on

The same old phrases on and on

I'm not in shape to make decisions now

I am trapped inside of me

Why is it so hard to disappear?

Lord, have mercy on my soul, before I get out of control

Set me free, set me free

Redeem me from myself

Brother, I must leave you now

There is much more for me to explore

I refuse to think this is all what we've got

There is just one way left to go

When you burn the bridges behind you

Every step feels like a million miles to go

I cannot leave this world, not yet

There's too much left to call me dead

But I won't play this game, not anymore

I am trapped inside of me

Why is it so hard to disappear?

Lord, have mercy on my soul, before I get out of control

Set me free, set me free

Redeem me from myself

The rope is tight around my neck

It's getting harder and harder to breathe

My lungs are filled with rust and dirt

It's getting harder and harder to breathe

I needed someone who listens to me

It's getting harder and harder to breathe

I needed someone who sets me free

It's getting harder and harder to breathe

Help me

Once we are dead

We know just who we were

Once we are dead

We know just who we were

Lord, have mercy on my soul, before I get out of control

Set me free, set me free

Redeem me from myself

Set me free, set me free

Redeem me from myself
