Verse

I want a real love to let me in

I want to zero out and be born again

no more false starts and no dead ends

'cause I'm no shape do to what's right

I see up as down and black as white

it makes me dizzy I come apart

all this love love love in the dark

Chorus

Mercy mercy both hands

 I need less drowning and more land

Mercy mercy, understand

less drowning, more land, less drowning

Verse

They have fire in the crowd just to watch you move

they tie your hands then demand a salute

all this garden's full of snakes and fruit

Its in the click click click of the camera flash its in the definite kicking

of the flame bomb blast

but they don't call and they don't last

and you're gone

outshined

Chorus

Mercy mercy both hands

 I need less drowning and more land

Mercy mercy, understand

less drowning, more land, less drowning

Bridge

Come on kill the light

leave it all behind

I'm right by your, I'm right by your side

Ignore the tick of time

put your hand in in mine

watch it all, watch it all ignite

Chorus

Mercy mercy both hands

 I need less drowning and more land

Mercy mercy, understand

less drowning, more land, less drowning

Mercy mercy, I'm in your hands

 I look into your eyes and I see that I can

Mercy mercy, understand

 less drowning, more land, less drowning, more land
