Lyrics
Mercy
Hook:
All I want is Mercy, somebody to hurt me, somebody to shove me, cut me down to size, I do it for the mercy,when my faith deserts me, won't somebody save me save me from somebody, somebody like me.
Verse 1
My ego's in the clouds flying like a bird,somebody shoot it down damn I got my nerves, need a angel so bad can't even put it into words, my worst enemy is me, damn I'm such a jerk, they say the truth hurts, then I need surgery, somebody call the cops, i'm about to murder me, mercy mercy me, somebody save me please, i'm loosing faith fast, down on my knees, looking up to God, sometimes I don't believe, somebody cut me down, need to see myself bleed, to know that it's real, need to feel myself feel, Novocaine dreams don't need no refills.
Hook:
All I want is Mercy, somebody to hurt me, somebody to shove me, cut me down to size, I do it for the mercy,when my faith deserts me, won't somebody save me save me from somebody, somebody like me.
verse 2
Ticking ticking bomb, I know the times near, I'm so afraid of failure I kidnapped fear, the outsides great the insides tears, mr. big ego whispers in my ear, monkey on my back, cutting off my air, reality is there, but I'm over here, trying to swim back, sharks in the water, I need a life raft like I need a million dollars
Hook:
All I want is Mercy, somebody to hurt me, somebody to shove me, cut me down to size, I do it for the mercy,when my faith deserts me, won't somebody save me save me from somebody, somebody like me.
Verse 3
Now it's just me and a bottle of ciroc, drowning in my sorrows, somebody bring a mop, praying to father time, please rewind my clock, self destruction's catching up, I need that dude to stop, running from myself, the enemy is me, won't let nobody in, scared what they might see, closet full of skeleton's, threw away the key, mr. mercy where you at, I need your help please.
Hook:
All I want is Mercy, somebody to hurt me, somebody to shove me, cut me down to size, I do it for the mercy,when my faith deserts me, won't somebody save me save me from somebody, somebody like me.
