Mercy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I caught a glimpse of professional evil
On the day our poor hearts died
I fell in love with professional evil
On the day you left my side
I see tons of people looking lost and lethal
And I think we're all the same
So I scale the steeple and I take a leap
And I just can't keep the stain
From my soul
It burns so cold
It's got to go
Through my soul
Through my soul
Things fall apart in the blink of an eye
Better keep yours open wide
Things fall apart in the blink of an eye
No, they can't be satisfied
I see tons of people looking lost and lethal
And I know we're all the same
But now it's gone forever
And there's nothing to keep
But I still can't scratch the stain
From my soul
It burns so cold
Oh, watch it go
Through my soul
Have mercy, lord
Why can't we do?
Got over me, got over you
Gone overboard
Gone two by two
Gone over me, gone over you
I know my life
Can't be my life
My life can't be
Have mercy
On my life
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
On my life
