Mercer
I wish I knew you, I wish I could
Love you like I was told I should
But I still bear these crosses
That you said you'd take away
The weight of which drags me down
Like a ship sinking a sea
I was told that I was loved
Since I was a little boy
The stories they composed
So beautiful yet so cold
Were nothing more than unfulfilled desires
Dead joy
Forced into my mind
Programmed while I sleep at night
Show me the way out of this cave
It's filled with a stench I can't erase
So tell me that story once again
The one where you loved me 'til it ends
And every word grips me more
Each time than it did before
Leaving me hopeless
Begging for truth in folklore
As far as I remember
I've never failed to disappoint
They were never pleased with me!
Why should they be?
As I search for an answer
I've learned which direction to point
To find the culprit
The whole time they were it
Show me the way out of this cave
It's filled with a stench I can't erase
Show me the way out of this cave
It's filled with a stench I can't erase
Love you like I was told I should
But I still bear these crosses
That you said you'd take away
The weight of which drags me down
Like a ship sinking a sea
I was told that I was loved
Since I was a little boy
The stories they composed
So beautiful yet so cold
Were nothing more than unfulfilled desires
Dead joy
Forced into my mind
Programmed while I sleep at night
Show me the way out of this cave
It's filled with a stench I can't erase
So tell me that story once again
The one where you loved me 'til it ends
And every word grips me more
Each time than it did before
Leaving me hopeless
Begging for truth in folklore
As far as I remember
I've never failed to disappoint
They were never pleased with me!
Why should they be?
As I search for an answer
I've learned which direction to point
To find the culprit
The whole time they were it
Show me the way out of this cave
It's filled with a stench I can't erase
Show me the way out of this cave
It's filled with a stench I can't erase
