Mercy

You say you love me
So much you would murder
And you won’t leave me
You won’t leave me here
The world is ugly
Uglier than everything I’ve done
And you won’t leave me
You won’t leave me here
And when I suffer
You will heal me
Feed me from your veins
Or from the trust
You so blindly give
But I am wicked
I am evil
If there ever were a devil
I would shake his hand
And he would run
And somehow you forgive
I will be the death of you
I will be
You say you love me
So I ask that you will do this
Take a life I can’t take myself
And when it’s over
You can breathe again
Free from me
And from the flames of hell
I will be the death of you
I will be
