No Mercy Left in Me

Intro

Verse 1 I used to leave a little room For grace to find my door But grace got tired of knocking And I got tired of keeping score I watched good men get buried While the cruel ones learned to breathe So I took the soft part out my chest And threw it in the weeds

Pre-Chorus Don’t ask me where my kindness went, Don’t ask who made it leave Some things die quiet in a man When the world won’t let him grieve

Chorus No mercy left in me, No light behind my eyes I buried what was holy Where the black road dies No mercy left in me, No prayer left to speak If heaven wanted better, It should’ve answered when I was weak

Verse 2 There’s a town outside of nowhere Where I learned to disappear They smiled while they broke me Then acted shocked I made it here I don’t hate the ones who hurt me, That takes too much soul I just let the dark remember What my heart let go

Pre-Chorus I ain’t proud of what I carry, But I carry it clean A man can lose his shadow When he stands where I have been

Chorus No mercy left in me, No light behind my eyes I buried what was holy Where the black road dies No mercy left in me, No prayer left to speak If heaven wanted better, It should’ve answered when I was weak No mercy, no mercy, No mercy left in me No mercy, no mercy, Just the man they made me be

Bridge I gave the world my open hands, It filled them full of nails I gave the Lord my broken voice, He left it in the mail So if I sound like thunder now, If my soul don’t bend I ain’t becoming evil, son I’m becoming what won’t end No mercy left in me, No light behind my eyes I buried what was holy Where the black road dies No mercy left in me, No blood left to bleed I used to beg the world for kindness, Now the world can beg from me

Outro I didn’t lose my mercy. I spent it all surviving.
