Mercy Lyrics by Tanuki

The Fire The Fear The Fall

2018

We all amass
A weightless and shapeless form that colors every curve
Leave us feeling blind
We can't connect the fragments
We made from pulling pieces off this map
With turns that take you too far out to ever make it back

It starts
Like pressure
That sits behind the eyes like fingertips
Dancing on weighted keys
Like teeth
That tumble
Out from hungry mouths in search of feed
Tasting only rust from where they bleed

A CERTAIN SELF-DEFEAT

And as the pain in us subsides
We learn to beg for death before we're gone
DO YOU FEEL THIS
And as the hope we held begins to die
We find that it meant nothing all along

DON’T FIGHT, IT’S WORST TO RESIST
LET GO, BECAUSE THERE’S NO SAVING THIS

This could have been me
I would have been every favored son
The envy of all
The end to every fall
It tore at the crease
It folded in ways I couldn't see
I could only meet the miles with my scream

A shell to armor through the crush
Bleed them out with bites and fall apart at every touch
A slice that cuts you to the bone
With surgical precision, they empty out your soul

And as the pain in us subsides
We learn to beg for death before we're gone
DO YOU FEEL THIS
And as the hope we held begins to die
We find that it meant nothing all along

I don't want you to know this pain
It will only pull you under
You'll be crushed beneath the weight

I don't want you to know this pain
It will only pull you under
You'll be crushed beneath the weight
I don't want you to know this pain
It will only pull you under
You'll be crushed beneath the weight

JUST RUN, SEVER THE TRUST
JUST KNOW, THEY’LL ALWAYS COME FOR US
