Mercy To Go Lyrics - Singles - Odds

My heart's getting bigger 

So I need a new pant size 

When you're the tower of strength 

People climb up your backside 

So you don't stay that way too long 

You're only temporarily strong 

I've got mercy, mercy to go 

I've got mercy, mercy to go 

And then it's all gone 

You don't swim up and grab a drowning man 

'Cause he'll use you as a life raft if he can 

It's better to hold a out a branch 

Then the tree and then the whole ranch 

'Cause I've got mercy, mercy to go 

I've got mercy, mercy to go 

I've got mercy, mercy to go 

And then it's all gone 

As I mature I learn to speak my mind 

On the other hand I learn to be patient and let it ride 

Between these two traits is a line 

You step on it all of the time 

Why do these things always happen to you? 

I wish I had the time to let them swallow me too 

When we count up all of our wounds 

You're the desert, I'm one of the dunes 

I never met a manipulator that wasn't paranoid 

They see in themselves what in others they should avoid 

All the devious plans aren't there 

Ghosts fly out from under their hair 

And I get to hear about it 

And it comes in heavy waves 

And I'm lying under your downer 

With no breathing space 

And I've still got mercy, mercy to go 

And when it's all gone, I guess it's all gone
