Mercy Mercy Mercy So get on your knees and beg I don't understand So get on your knees and beg I don't understand So get on your knees and beg I don't, I don't, I don't Three inches from the ledge Rubber meets concrete Two inches past it, rubber meets air But you just don't care Despair, despair But don't despair Help is near Superhero, her Who But it's too much You don't want help You want freedom Not freedom to something But freedom from everything Everyone This, him, her, them, pain, love, risk, life, work, art, and God Happiness, innocence, everyone's interested Now that you wanna die Now that you wanna die No one can tell you why But she can He can They can Save you Because face it, you need saving You're so deep in the pit You've lost your sense of up and down Rocket ship, headed into a black hole You need saving But there's no angel on the way At least not in the traditional sense No, the thing that will save you Is love Someone who loves you Will hunt you down Catch you, the instant before your left heel Follows the right In your leap forward Someone loves you And God sent that someone Because He can't force you to live But He can beg you Through that someone So open your eyes for just a second And realize That pain Ironically Can't hurt you It's a glitch A software defect in your brain A virus, symptom of the modern age And try not to laugh too hard When you turn around and look that 'someone' in the eyes And realize It's you It's you That someone that God sent It's always been you So don't give up
