Part 1: Mercy When the city sleeps, I'm awake Faught 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 [Interlude] [repeat above chords] 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 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
