Mercy / Gatekeeper

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 could 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
 ♪
 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'll watch the sky get brighter
 The lights get higher now

 Just give me mercy
 'Cause I keep hurting, hurting
 Just give me mercy

 Hurting, hurting
 (Talk to me)

 (Talk to me, keep on, talk to me)
 
 (Oh, oh, oh)
 (Oh, oh, oh)
 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 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
 Hurting, hurting
 Don't let me down with my soul in the air
 Don't let me down when
 There's nobody here
