Mercy

Spit it out oh my brother
That poison is hardening your soul
Give it time, find another
Those lines upon your hands somehow will know
Up you raise your hands with your weapons
Just to shoot a hole into the skies
Hoping rain pours out its heavens
Forgiving you before you take the bite
One stroke of mercy
End this with glory
Things will get much easier from here
Go pull the trigger
Grace will deliver
It’s up to you how much the end of this will linger
ooo
Coup de graçe just take the hit
Kindness knows a good way to kill
Drag it out you’ll drag it in
Use the blade upon your tongue to cut your will
Up you raise your hands with your weapons
Just to shoot a hole into the skies
Hoping rain pours out its heavens
Forgiving you before you take the bite
One stroke of mercy
End this with glory
Things will get much easier from here
Go pull the trigger
Grace will deliver
It’s up to you how much the end of this will linger
One stroke of mercy
End this with glory
Things will get much easier from here
Go pull the trigger
Grace will deliver
It’s up to you how much the end of this will linger

Critters & Kings

Turning times had him fall
in the winter of his dollars and dimes
Ooo
He had a way of letting go
Into the bottom of his whiskey and wine
Ooo
And he sighs:
Does anybody see me?
Does anybody care when you…
…hit the roads cause your own didn’t make it so fair?
Now I’ve seen stones more alive
than the beat-less drum of his heart
And he shrivels his eyes, as he wonders:
Do angels come out in the dark?
Ooo
And he wonders:
Does anybody see me?
Does anybody care when you…
…hit the roads cause your own didn’t make it so fair?
Ooo
Ooo
Oh, cardboard box palaces
For the ones who’ve run from it all
No nothing is never enough
For the critters or the kings above
This desiring will eat us all up
Maybe the vagabonds are the freest of all
Cause everybody’s wondering:
Does anybody see me?
Does anybody care?
We all hit the roads when our own didn’t make it so fair
Yeah we’ve all been craving ’til we’re hungry in the dead of despair
Yeah we’re all just the same

Some Kinda Grace

Take a leaf from my book
And fill it up with some kindness and good cause
I took liberties and left behind pain
But life has some kind of grace
Take me to church
Take me to court
Cause I’ve been sinning
And slinging the laws
But maybe God wrote off my wicked ways
Or life has some kind of grace
Oh but there’s heaven in me
Take it from those who raised me
I wasn’t born so wild or deceiving
I’ve done my time and been behind bars
Now I’m a changed man back at the start
I took a step towards fear
You can call it courage if it’s how it appears
I’m walking free a little weak at the knees
Cause second chances are hard to receive
Now I believe I will believe
That I’m forgiven and that I am free
Though I know I don’t deserve to be given this place
But life has some kind of grace
Oh but there’s heaven in me
Take it from those who raised me
I wasn’t born so wild or deceiving
I’ve done my time and I’ve been behind bars
Now I’m a changed man back at the start
Now I believe I believe I believe
That I’m forgiven though it’s hardest from me
Though I know I don’t deserve to be given this place
But life has some kind of grace
Oh life has some kind of grace
Oh life has some kind of grace
