Sinking deep or full-sail ahead These are the contents of my head But for every time I saw the ocean, not the sea Lord, have mercy on me Flaming numbness or burnt-out desire My body's always on fire But for every time I fell victim to gluttony Lord, have mercy on me A sunshower in the day and a candle in the dark This is the mystery of my heart But for every time, I traded still rainbows for the wind's speed Lord, have mercy on me A devil prefers wet lips; God prefers silence Didn't realize that such small words could cause such big violence But for every time, I don't think before I speak Lord, have mercy on me They laugh and frown anytime I sing and dance This is just my circumstance But for every time they use the sword and not the pen Lord, have mercy on them

Mercy
Sinking deep or full-sail ahead These are the contents of my head But for every time I saw the ocean, not the sea Lord, have mercy on me Flaming numbness or burnt-out desire My body's always on fire But for every time I fell victim to gluttony Lord, have mercy on me A sunshower in the day and a candle in the dark This is the mystery of my heart But for every time, I traded still rainbows for the wind's speed Lord, have mercy on me A devil prefers wet lips; God prefers silence Didn't realize that such small words could cause such big violence But for every time, I don't think before I speak Lord, have mercy on me They laugh and frown anytime I sing and dance This is just my circumstance But for every time they use the sword and not the pen Lord, have mercy on them
