Mercy

there's a church on my bathroom wall
where my marble spirits break and fall
where all they do is measure my worth
by the size of my wrists
and my time left on earth

it's always january
the sky is gray,
once you go
they'll make you stay
you'll be just another girl
who faded away
just another wasteland babe
yeah

you pulled yourself under
All that's left to do is drown
you let the light escape you
you're decaying from the inside out
Stay close to me, I'll keep sinking
Stay close to me, I'll keep sinking

Crown me with a winter breeze
crown me with the air you breathe
Burn a candle in my memory
they'll worship my bones when there's nothing left of me
my eulogy spills from the mouth of the priest:
"ruler of us all; she was less, she was least."

you pulled yourself under
all that's left to do is drown
you let the darkness eat you up
decaying from the inside out
and everyone's watching you
No one's left to pull you out
And everyone's watching you
no one's left to save you now

Stay close to me, I'll keep sinking
Stay close to me, I'll keep sinking
Stay close to me, I'll keep sinking
Stay close to me, I'll keep sinking
