Mercy / Gatekeeper |
| When the city sleeps, I’m awake |
| Caught up in the dreams I can’t create |
| When the city sleeps, I’m awake |
| Locked up in my mind, I can’t escape |
| There’s nothing I can do but wait |
| I call you crying 'cause it’s too much pain |
| I can tell you don’t get it |
| 'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay |
| All I wanna do is cry |
| That’s all I wanna do |
| All I wanna do is cry |
| And bang my head |
| Until I start to fly |
| Bang, bang, I start to fly |
| Bang, bang, I start to fly |
| Maybe, I’ll just dye my hair |
| To make me feel like I don’t care |
| It’ll be my war paint |
| 'Cause Lord knows I need the strength, I need the strength |
| Mondays might be alright |
| And Sundays will probably hurt |
| 'Cause when your mouth starts moving with the noise |
| I don’t hear a single word |
| All I wanna do is cry |
| That’s all I wanna do |
| All I wanna do is cry |
| And bang my head |
| Until I start to fly |
| Bang, bang, I start to fly |
| Bang, bang, I start to fly |
| I watch the sky get brighter |
| The lights get higher now |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Hurting, hurting |
| Part 2: Gatekeeper |
| Stuck in the traffic that’s racing in my mind |
| Blankets of wool just to cover up my eyes |
| 'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet |
| And I know what I need, what I need is hiding |
| I’m just a face someone’s passing on the street |
| Paint on a smile so that no one ever sees |
| 'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet |
| And I know what I need, what I need is hiding |
| Talk to me, keep on, talk to me |
| Oh, oh, oh |
| Oh, oh, oh |
| Talk to me, keep on, talk to me |
| Oh, oh, oh |
| Oh, oh, oh |
| It’s easier for me to stay quiet, not speak a word |
| For if I do, then the truth might emerge |
| They are my emotions to feel |
| Nobody can poison my feelings if they’re never revealed |
| I’ll watch others live in loudness and I’ll destroy the chaos in my way |
| I have the control |
| If I keep what’s mine, I can have the purest soul |
| And live with content, free from fear |
| I choose my actions |
| I am the gatekeeper |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting |
| Hurting, hurting |
| Don’t let me die |
| With my soul in the air |
| Don’t let me die |
| When there’s nobody here |
