Mercy

Mercy - Matt Nathanson

I want a real love

To let me in

I want to zero out

And be born again

No more false starts and no dead ends

Cause I'm no shape

To do what's right

I see up that's down and black that's white

It makes me dizzy I come apart

All this love love love in the dark

Mercy mercy both hands

I need less drowning and more land

Mercy mercy understand

Less drowning more land less drowning

Lay a fire in the crowd

Just to watch you move

Tie your hands and demand a salute

All these gardens full of snakes and fruit

Hear the click click click

And the camera flash

It's in the definite kick up

In the fame ball blast

But they don't call and they don't last

And you're gone outshine

Mercy mercy both hands

I need less drowning and more land

Mercy mercy understand

Less drowning more land less drowning

Come on kill the light

Leave it all behind

I'm right by your I'm right by your side

Lean on the tick of time

Put your hand in in mine

Watch you watch you ignite

Mercy mercy both hands

I need less drowning and more land

Mercy mercy understand

Less drowning more land

Mercy mercy I'm in your hands

I look into your eyes and I see life end

Mercy mercy understand

Less drowning more land

Less drowning more land
