Mercy Road
-Kind of an almost forgotten song in my files... written in middle school and edited in 9th or 10th grade- can't remember. First time writing a song for the guitar. It was brutal! xD -
There’s something sick inside these walls
I gotta get away from here!
These empty people lead me nowhere
I hope you hear me when I call
Cause I won’t waste another year
And you know no one else will care when
I’m gone
As the faces leave my mind
It’s only you that I will find
Until the traces are left for dead
All the heartache left behind
I’ll face this world alone
I’ll take the only path I know
Your heart was my abode
And now I take the Mercy Road
Mercy Road…Mercy Road…
So you left me for the world
When there was nothing left of me
And every day is getting harder
I hope you’re happy in this state
Cause I sure as hell am not
Before you leave and turn away
Watch me rot
As the faces leave my mind
It’s only you that I will find
Until the traces are left for dead
All the heartache left behind
I’ll face this world alone
I’ll take the only path I know
Your heart was my abode
And now I take the Mercy Road
Mercy Road…Mercy Road
Driving down the Mercy Road
It’s the only path I know
You’re gone, and now I hate this way
Cause now I drive it all alone
