Mercy

Simplicity

Does not come easy

When you're dreaming of being someone else

And grace you see is fleeting

When you're bleeding your inner self

Have mercy

On me please

Have mercy

I'm on my knees

I'm being broken

Again and again

No keeping broken

Until I remain open

When you're locked away

Fighting shadows

Constant battle trying to feel safe

When your own armor starts killing you

Cause it's causing you to sink beneath its weight

Call for mercy

Won't you please

Cry for mercy get on your knees

You'll be broken

Again and again

You keep being broken

Until you remain open

So feel the pain give into its cry till you crack

That's how the light gets in

Set your weapons on the ground

Until you're naked and trembling now

And when you think you can't stand anymore

Lord

Give mercy

To someone in need

Give mercy

Don't you see

Life will break our hearts

Again and again

We keep being broken

Till we remain open

Can't you see

I have broken

Wide open

Let yourself be broken

Wide open

I have broken

Oh
