Mercy

Would you tell me please
What happened to me
I know I was there
But I have no memory
Would you give me a picture
Would you give me a trigger word
Would you tell me where was I
When the color-me-in sky came down
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this one
I need mercy
This is not mine
These thoughts that blind me
This unfounded fear
This constantly seeking escape
Alone, restless and yearning
I feel like I have felt before
When I drank away all of my problems
Until I drank myself on the floor
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this, I need mercy
And I know that I am not healthy
Yeah, but who really is
At least I am trying something
At least I am willing to give in
I know that this is a never ending process
This growing up thing
Yeah but, sometimes, life on life's terms
Means that I do not get to win
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this one, I need mercy
Give me mercy
Mercy
