Mercy/Gatekeeper

While the city sleeps, I'm awake
Caught up in the dreams, I can't create
While the city sleeps, I'm awake
Locked up in my mind, I can't escape
There's nothing I can do but wait
I call you crying 'cause it's too much pain
I can tell you don't get it
'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay

All I wanna do is cry
That's all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry
Band my head, until I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly

Baby, I just dyed my hair
To make me feel like I don't care
It'll be my war paint
'Cause Lord knows I need strength, I need strength
Mondays might be alright
And Sundays will probably hurt
'Cause when your mouth starts moving with the noise
I don't hear a single word

All I wanna do is cry
That's all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry
Band my head, until I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly
I watch the sky get brighter
The lights get higher now

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Hurting, hurting


Stuck in the traffic that's racing in my mind
Blankets of woe just to cover up my eyes
'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet
And I know what I need, what I need is hiding
I'm just a face, someone passing in the street
Paint on a smile so that no one ever sees
'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet
And I know what I need, what I need is hiding

Talk to me, they all talk to me, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Talk to me, they all talk to me, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It's easy for me to stay quiet
And not speak a word
But if I do, and the truth might emerge
The mind that choose to feel
Nobody can poison my feelings if they're never revealed
I watch others live and laugh
And I'll just destroy the chaos in my way
I have the control
So I keep what's mine, I can have with your soul
And live with contempt, free from fear
I choose my actions
I'm the gatekeeper

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Hurting, hurting

Don't let me down with my soul in the air
Don't let me down when there's nobody here
