Mercy - Eric Bachmann

Kill your idols and your fables\nTake your weapons off the table\nIt’s only mercy now that you need in your world\nLay your burdens on my shoulders\nFor a while until it’s over\nI’m gonna love you like we’re all each other have\nWell I’ve got friends and I’ve got family\nFrom Alaska to Miami\nYou won’t believe the crazy shit they sometimes say\nBut don’t you dare believe them\nWhen they try to tell you everything\nHappens for a reason\nBecause it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing\nThere’s chaos in the violence\nAnd it’s so insensitive to claim\nWhen there are those who suffer\nSuffer for no reason everyday\nI don’t believe in Armageddon\nHeaven, hell, or time regretted\nI’m gonna love you like we’re all each other have\nSo take your idols and your fables\nTrick your mind, so you’ll be able\nTo deal with pain and death and loss of those you’ve loved\nYes, I’ve got family, I’ve got friends\nAnd I will love them 'till the end\nDespite the batshit crazy things they often say\nBut don’t you dare believe them\nWhen they try to tell you everything\nHappens for a reason\nBecause it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing\nThere’s chaos in the violence\nAnd maybe all of this is all you get\nSo fill your heart with love\nAnd cherish what you can while you are here\nBut don’t you dare believe them\nWhen they try to tell you everything\nHappens for a reason\nBecause it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing\nThere’s chaos in the violence\nAnd they’re so insensitive to claim\nWhen there are those who suffer\nSuffer for no reason everyday
