Have Mercy

I’m honestly done with this horrible, angsty doubt inside I slept in for too long that I’m sick of having it with myself, simply hiding I’m genuinely gone glistening like the sun that has surely died I crept in my bed silently…I failed you greatly and my hope is subsiding Give mercy a chance To heal you from your triggering trance Give mercy a chance I take you on a life’s wondrous dance Give mercy a chance To give you merriment from on high happily Give mercy a chance To live inside you to make you bloom bravely Give mercy a chance Give mercy a chance Give mercy a chance… To heal your broken soul To make you so beautiful To steal away the pain, to shove it down the drain To break away the bewilderment from your brain Just have mercy…on my heart I’m arrogantly wrecked me up and worn me out like a strong punching bag I am down and under in the waters of wistfulness and I am close to dying I’m robustly trying to listen to your reason behind getting stomped on like a rag I am drowning in crooked lullabies and I am in need of the rope of hope, crying Give mercy a chance To heal you from your triggering trance Give mercy a chance I take you on a life’s wondrous dance Give mercy a chance To give you merriment from on high happily Give mercy a chance To live inside you to make you bloom bravely Give mercy a chance Give mercy a chance Give mercy a chance… To heal your broken soul To make you so beautiful To steal away the pain, to shove it down the drain To break away the bewilderment from your brain Just have mercy…on my soul Give me a reason To believe in your fickle ways Give me a season To blossom in these gray days Give mercy a try And, soon, you’ll fly Now, I’m bound in this ribcage of envious rage Somehow, I’m found — chainless in pride and happiness in stride Triggering circumstances on this life’s page Face the music within…I don’t want to hide what’s really inside Especially when you’re not by my side Crucified in loneliness While you live in loveliness Give mercy a try, cold-hearted love of mine There, you’ll find that my wings are made of divine shine Just have mercy on all of me… And my mind of misery… That’s the kind I can’t stand I wish you’d understand…
