Odds

Odds - Mercy To Go lyrics

My heart's getting bigger so I need a new pant size

When you're the towere 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

I've got mercy, mercy to go

& 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 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

& then it's all gone

as I mature I learn to speak my mind

on the other hand

I learn to be patient & let it rider

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
