The Odds - Mercy To Go

Mercy To Go

My hearts getting bigger so I need a new pant size
When you are the tower of strength people climb up your backside
So you dont stay that way too long
you are only temporarily strong
I have got mercy, mercy to go
I have got mercy, mercy to go
And then its all gone
You dont swimup and grab a drowning man
Cause hell use you as a life raft if he can
Its better to hold a out a branch
Then the tree, and then the whole ranch
Cause I have got mercy, mercy to go
I have got mercy, mercy to go
I have got mercy, mercy to go
And then its all gone
As I mature I learn to speak my mind
On the other hand I learn to be patient let it ride
Between these two traits is a line
You step on it all of the time
Why do these things always happen to you?
I wish I had the time to let them swallow me too
When we count up all of our wounds
you are the desert, Imone of the dunes
I never met a manipulator that wasnt paranoid
They see in themselves what in others they should avoid
All the devious plans arent there
Ghosts fly out from under their hair
And I get to hear about it, and it comes in heavy waves
And Imlying under your downer, with no breathing space
And I have sti will got mercy, mercy to go
And when its all gone
I guess its all gone
