Lyrics
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 was drinking some wine, and it turned to blood
What's the use of religion, if you're any good
I know i'm weedkiller honey, and you're sugar
If you're the prosecution, I get away with murder
If you were ice, I'm water
And with your telescope, I can see further
We're binary code, a one and a zero
You wanted violins, and you got nero
You're gravity, searching for the ground
You're silence, searching for a sound
Your heart is aching, your heart is my home
It's fascinating, I know I'll never be alone
I'm rippin' the stitches
You got two hands to rub
I'm in the ditches
Of someone else's love
Love is when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love will come again
I'll be gone again... again
If you're hunger, baby let me feed it
If your heart is full, baby let me bleed it
And happiness is for, those who don't really need it
You love me too much
You always loved me too much
When I was rippin' the stitches
You got two fists to rub
I'm in the ditches
Of someone else's luck
Love is when i lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love's got to be with the weak
Only then love gets a chance to speak
Love will come again
I'll be gone again... again
I... I can't escape myself
I hear you talk
Feeling nothing
I fear nothing
Fear....
I can hear so much
Fear nothing
Ican hear so much
Fear nothing
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love is the end of history
The enemy of misery
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love is justice, not charity
Love brings with it a clarity
Love has come again
I'm alive again
Alive...
I am alive, baby I'm born again and again
And again, and again and again and again
Again...
