Mercy

For whom the bell tolls
There's a hurricane raging inside me
The second wave is right there behind me
Don't leave me alone, as this fire burns whole
Before there's nothing left to atone

Breathe new life into me
Send waves to crash right through me
I wear the perfect disguise
Right behind my eyes
It's got me coming undone

My facade, my facade made of stone
I'm deep beneath now, I need to let go
This life has taken its toll
I can't be myself pleasing everyone else, no

First one up in line when there's hell to pay
Filthy hands that never wash away
This is one time I'm not being subjective
I need to see things from a brand new perspective

Because I'm coming undone
My facade, my facade made of stone
I'm deep beneath, now I need to let go
This life has taken its toll
I can't be myself pleasing everyone else, no

I'd like to think I'd never cave in
A vicious battle I may never win
And I'd like to think I'll come out stronger
Life's swinging hard but I'm swinging harder

For whom the bell tolls
"I have an inheritance from my father
It's the moon and the sun
And although that I roam all over the world
The spending's never done"

My facade, my facade made of stone
I'm deep beneath, now I need to let go
This life has taken its toll
I can't be myself pleasing everyone else, no

My facade, my facade made of stone
I'm deep beneath, now I need to let go
This life has taken its toll
I can't be myself pleasing everyone else, no
