Mercy Songtext
von Jax Ryder

I′m always feelin' unrested
Always fightin′ my own skin
This war inside it never sleeps
Just waits for my will to cave in
I'm tryna be a good man
Hell, I've been tryna be kind
But damn that voice in my head
It just won′t fall in line
I′ve been doin' the work
Knees are bent
Been prayin′ overtime

They say faith is easy
That you just gotta believe
Well, belief don't come easy
When you′re built from dirt like me


So if you're really listenin
And if I′m worth Your time
I'm down here beggin' for mercy
Tryin′ not to lose my damn mind
′Cause man, I can't tell ya
How many fuckin′ times a day
I dream of pickin' up that gun
And blowin′ myself away

These thoughts, man
I can't drown ′em out
And this quiet, man
It's gettin' way too loud
These damn nights
Are gettin′ way too long
I hear that devil every fuckin′ night
Always hummin' the same song

So if you′re really listenin
And if I'm worth Your time
I′m down here beggin' for mercy
Tryin′ not to lose my damn mind
'Cause man, I can't tell ya
How many fuckin′ times a day
I dream of pickin′ up that gun
And blowin' myself away


I′m sick of this shadow
It's breakin′ my damn back
Lord, give me a sign or let me go
I'm tired of livin′ like a ghost

So if you're really listenin
And if I'm worth Your time
I′m down here beggin′ for mercy
Tryin' not to lose my damn mind
′Cause man, I can't tell ya
How many fuckin′ times a day
I dream of pickin' up that gun
And blowin′ myself away

They say faith is easy
That you just gotta believe
Well, belief don't come easy
When you're built from dirt like me
