Mercy Lyrics - Eric Bachmann - Eric Bachmann

Kill your idols and your fables 

Take your weapons off the table 

It's only mercy now that you need in your world 

Lay your burdens on my shoulders 

For a while until it's over 

I'm gonna love you like we're all each other have 

Well I've got friends and I've got family 

From Alaska to Miami 

You won't believe the crazy shit they sometimes say 

But don't you dare believe them 

When they try to tell you everything 

Happens for a reason 

Because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing 

There's chaos in the violence 

And it's so insensitive to claim 

When there are those who suffer 

Suffer for no reason everyday 

I don't believe in Armageddon 

Heaven, hell, or time regretted 

I'm gonna love you like we're all each other have 

So take your idols and your fables 

Trick your mind, so you'll be able 

To deal with pain and death and loss of those you've loved 

Yes, I've got family, I've got friends 

And I will love them 'till the end 

Despite the batshit crazy things they often say 

But don't you dare believe them 

When they try to tell you everything 

Happens for a reason 

Because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing 

There's chaos in the violence 

And maybe all of this is all you get 

So fill your heart with love 

And cherish what you can while you are here 

But don't you dare believe them 

When they try to tell you everything 

Happens for a reason 

Because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing 

There's chaos in the violence 

And they're so insensitive to claim 

When there are those who suffer 

Suffer for no reason everyday
