Under the piles of precision machines Landfills fill, strewn outward, fanned across the streams The mainframe, it don't calculate How Mercy escaped Why Mercy escaped Give me peace in my death Mercy breathing in my last breath I'm afraid I'm just like all the rest I need Mercy at the hour of my death They say there's a sea where Mercy lives I've heard their stories, though I don't know anyone who's run their fingers on the rim Where the Mercy slips It don't run, it drips It don't run, it drips Give me peace in my death Breathing my last breath I'm just like all the rest I need Mercy at the hour of my death Did you ever really care for me? Did you ever really care for me? Lungs breathe air, winter trees are bare Did you every really care?
