A prolonged shame in black sweaters
It's only hurting you to be here
These stage lights, a horror
What do you really know of mercy
Oh mercy
Oh mercy
To be seen through, cut down
A constant hunger to be exposed
You're on thin ice
It's lifelessness
You're on thin ice
It's lifelessness
Oh mercy
Oh mercy
Silent, secluded
You can live through her
Two dissolves into one
Reclusive, reduced
Refusing to move
You can live through her forever
In a cold house by the sea
Isolated in guilty sleep
Smashed to pieces in repeat
You're acting out the perfect scene
A shattered face
Against the waves
A shattered face
Against the waves
To play the role until it kills
Shaking and screaming in your head
To play the role until it defeats you
Shaking and screaming in your head
Silent, secluded
You can live through her
Two dissolves into one
Reclusive, reduced
Refusing to move
You can live through her forever
Silent, secluded
You can live through her
Two dissolves into one
Reclusive, reduced
Refusing to move
You can live through her forever
Oh mercy
Oh mercy
