Mercy Lyrics
You live for times of solace
Within a sign there's a promise
Don't lose all faith 'cause you shake at night
It's in the art of the process
In another rhyme, beyond this place
The healing's fast enough
Done a thousand times, a thousand ways
Until you've had enough
It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more
The loss of prize possessions
To cure the mind's obsession
Could trade your soul for that normal life
Elite to all objections
See beyond all tears, and broken years
Your senses giving up
Lose all confidence at your expense
Your courage swallowed up
It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more
In another rhyme, beyond this place
The healing's fast enough
Done a thousand times, a thousand ways
Until you've had enough
It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more...
It seems to be about drugs, like a lot of other songs in this One Seconde album: I guess Nick Holmes had a lot of friends in it, but these musicians are way too workaholic (and maybe a tad alcoholic) to get themselves in these troubles...
Awesome song.
