Mercy / Gatekeeper Lyrics - Hayley Kiyoko

When the city sleeps, I'm awake 

Caught up in the dreams I can't create 

When the city sleeps, I'm awake 

Locked up in my mind, I can't escape 

There's nothing I can do but wait 

I call you crying 'cause it's too much pain 

I can tell you don't get it 

'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay 

All I wanna do is cry 

That's all I wanna do 

All I wanna do is cry 

And bang my head 

Until I start to fly 

Bang, bang, I start to fly 

Bang, bang, I start to fly

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Maybe I'll just dye my hair 

To make me feel like I don't care 

It'll be my war paint 

'Cause Lord knows I need the strength, I need the strength 

Mondays might be alright 

And Sundays will probably hurt 

'Cause when your mouth starts moving with the noise 

I don't hear a single word 

All I wanna do is cry 

That's all I wanna do 

All I wanna do is cry 

And bang my head 

Until I start to fly 

Bang, bang, I start to fly 

Bang, bang, I start to fly 

I watch the sky get brighter 

The lights get higher now 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Hurting, hurting 

Stuck in the traffic that's racing in my mind 

Blankets of wool just to cover up my eyes 

'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet 

And I know what I need, what I need is hiding 

I'm just a face, someone's passing on the street 

Paint on a smile so that no one ever sees 

'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet 

And I know what I need, what I need is hiding 

Talk to me, keep on, talk to me 

Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

Talk to me, keep on, talk to me 

Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

It's easier for me to stay quiet 

And not speak a word 

For if I do, then the truth might emerge 

They are my emotions to feel 

Nobody can poison my feelings if they're never revealed 

I watch others live in loudness 

And I'll destroy the chaos in my way 

I have the control 

If I keep what's mine, I can have the purest soul 

And live with content, free from fear 

I choose my actions 

I am the gatekeeper 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting 

Hurting, hurting 

Don't let me down with my soul in the air 

Don't let me down when there's nobody here
