[Verse 1]
Followed your name, into the wild, yeah, yeah
Sold you my shame, I ran a mile
I sing your lullabies, your melodies like a symphony
We burn the same, inside a fire

[Chorus]
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I could use a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believe
I could use a little mercy, oh mercy on me

[Verse 2]
I played the game, I reconciled, well, well, well, well
I wear the blame, like a suit and tie
I sing your lullabies, your melodies like a symphony
We fall the same, when we walk the wire

[Chorus]
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believe
I could use a little mercy, oh mercy on me

[Bridge]
I keep burning
You keep turning me down
I keep burning
You keep turning me down

[Chorus]
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believe
I could use a little mercy, oh mercy on me
