Mercy

Would you tell me please

what happened to me

I know I was there

but I have no memory

would you give me a picture

would you give me a trigger word

would you tell me where was I

when the color-me-in sky came down

This is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

for this one

I need mercy

This is not mine

these thoughts that blind me

this unfounded fear

this constantly seeking escape

alone, restless and yearning

I feel like I have felt before

when I drank away all of my problems

until I drank myself on the floor

This is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

for this, I need mercy

And I know that I am not healthy

yeah, but who really is

at least I am trying something

at least I am willing to give in

I know that this is a never ending process

this growing up thing

yeah but, sometimes, life on life's terms

means that I do not get to win

This is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

for this one, I need mercy

give me mercy

mercy
