Lyrics

i've been listening to the sounds
that the neighbourhood makes
here in the dark
meaning to change

if i knew what i want
this could be over soon
but don't you feel small
in the shine of the moon

mercy, here i come
on the tip of my toes
i am under your thumb

i wish i knew what to make
of the guilt and the shame
i lose track of my thoughts
when i'm close to explain

and as i lay awake thinking
on my side of the bed
bearing a weight
hearing her breaths

mercy, where have you gone
if i could put it to words
would you show me some

mercy, if i come
if i gave it all up
would i overcome
