Mercy / Gatekeeper

Part 1: Mercy

[Verse 1]
When the city sleeps, I'm awake
Caught up in the dreams I can't create
When 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

[Chorus]
All I wanna do is cry, that's all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry and bang my head
Until I start to fly, bang, bang, I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly

[Verse 2]
Maybe, I'll just dye my hair to make me feel like I don't care
It'll be my war paint
'Cause Lord knows I need the strength, I need the 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

[Chorus]
All I wanna do is cry, that's all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry and bang my head
Until I start to fly, bang, bang, I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly

[Outro]
I watch the sky get brighter, the lights get higher now

Part 2: Gatekeeper

[Intro]
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

[Interlude]
Talk to me, talk to me (Ooh, ooh, oh-oh, ooh)
Talk to me, keep on, talk to me
Ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Stuck in the traffic that's racing in my mind
Blankets of wool 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's passing on 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

[Bridge]
Talk to me, keep on, talk to me
Ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh
Talk to me, keep on, talk to me (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
Ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh

[Interlude]
It's easier for me to stay quiet, not speak a word (Talk to me, keep on, talk to me)
For if I do, then the truth might emerge
They are my emotions to feel (Ooh, oh-oh-oh)
Nobody can poison my feelings if they're never revealed (Ooh, oh-oh-oh)
I'll watch others live in loudness and I'll destroy the chaos in my way
I have the control (Talk to me, keep on, talk to me)
If I keep what's mine, I can have the purest soul
And live with content, free from fear (Ooh, oh-oh-oh)
I choose my actions, I am the gatekeeper (Ooh, oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
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 (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 (Hurting, hurting)

[Outro]
Don't let me die with my soul in the air
Don't let me die, when there's nobody here
