Mercy

So would ya tell me please
What happened to me
I know I was there
But have no memory
So would you paint me a picture
Would you give me a trigger word
Would you tell me where was I
When the colony 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 wind
This unfounded fear
This constantly seeking escape
Alone, restless and yearning
I feel like I felt before
When I drank away all my problems
Until I drank myself on to the floor
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this I need Mercy, yeah
I know I am not healthy
Yeah but who really is
At least I am trying something
At least I am willing to give in
And I know this is a never ending process
This growing up thing
But sometimes, life on life's terms
Means that I don't get to win
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this I need mercy
Mercy mercy mercy
I need it give me mercy
I need I need
Come on give me Mercy...
