"Mercy" lyrics - THE GHOST INSIDE

THE GHOST INSIDE
"Mercy"
(Aaron Brooks / The Ghost Inside / Jeremy McKinnon / Jonathan Vigil / Andrew Wade)

[Intro:]
For whom the bell tolls

There's a hurricane raging inside me
The second wave is right there behind me
Don't leave me alone, as this fire burns whole
Before there's nothing left to atone
Breathe new life into me
Send waves to crash right through me
I wear the perfect disguise, right behind my eyes
It's got me coming undone

[Chorus:]
My facade, my facade, made of stone
I'm deep beneath, now I need to let go (Let go!)
This life has taken its toll
I can't be myself pleasing everyone else
No!

First one up in line when there is hell to pay
Filthy hands that never wash away
This is one time I won't be subjective
I need to see things from a brand new perspective
Because I'm coming undone

[Chorus:]
My facade, my facade, made of stone
I'm deep beneath, now I need to let go (Let go!)
This life has taken its toll
I can't be myself pleasing everyone else
No!

[Bridge:]
I'd like to think I'd never cave in
A vicious battle I may never win
And I'd like to think I'll come out stronger
Life's swinging hard but I'm swinging harder

[Breakdown:]
For whom the bell tolls
"I have an inheritance from my father, it's the moon and the sun
And although that I roam all over the world, the spending's never done."

[Outro/Chorus]
My facade, my facade, made of stone
I'm deep beneath, now I need to let go
This life has taken it's toll
I can't be myself pleasing everyone else
No!
