Melissa Ferrick - Mercy

So would ya tell me please

what happened to me

I know I was there

but have no memory

So would you paint me a picture

Would you give me a trigger word

Would you tell me where was I

when the colony sky came down

This is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

for this one I need mercy

mercy

this is not mine

these thoughts that wind

this unfounded fear

this constantly seeking escape

alone, restless and yearning

I feel like I felt before

when I drank away all my problems

until I drank myself on to the floor

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

for this I need Mercy, yeah

Mercy

I know I am not healthy

yeah but who really is

at least I am trying something

at least I am willing to give in

and I know this is a never ending process

this growing up thing

but sometimes, life on life's terms

means that I don't get to win

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

this is not my fault

for this I need mercy

mercy mercy mercy

I need it give me mercy

I need I need

come on give me Mercy...
