Mercy-Eric Bachmann

Kill your idols and your fables Take your weapons off the table It's only mercy now that you need in your world Lay your burdens on my shoulders For a while until it's over I'm gonna love you like we're all each other have Well I've got friends and I've got family From Alaska to Miami You won't believe the crazy shit they sometimes say But don't you dare believe them When they try to tell you everything Happens for a reason Because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing There's chaos in the violence And it's so insensitive to claim When there are those who suffer Suffer for no reason everyday I don't believe in Armageddon Heaven, hell, or time regretted I'm gonna love you like we're all each other have So take your idols and your fables Trick your mind, so you'll be able To deal with pain and death and loss of those you've loved Yes, I've got family, I've got friends And I will love them 'till the end Despite the batshit crazy things they often say But don't you dare believe them When they try to tell you everything Happens for a reason Because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing There's chaos in the violence And maybe all of this is all you get So fill your heart with love And cherish what you can while you are here But don't you dare believe them When they try to tell you everything Happens for a reason Because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing There's chaos in the violence And they're so insensitive to claim When there are those who suffer Suffer for no reason everyday
