A Little Mercy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The day begins to blur
Under this bruised light
Within the beast still stirs
Am I unfit to guide?
And now I'm weeping towards the sky
For what seeps back into the earth
Are we not supposed to love
In fear of losing someone?
Are we too afraid to feel
Too many wounds to heal?
Will they ever heal?
Will they ever heal?

[Chorus]
'Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no
We don't need this pain and this suffering, no
Just a little mercy
No
No, no

[Verse 2]
You cannot live the life
The life left behind you
You cry out loud with all your might
But no onе will hear you
There will bе desolation
We will throw ourselves into the fire
But the sooner love is gone
The ghosts will begin to haunt
But I know the beauty lies
In the dawn's early light
Well, it gives and gives in healing waves
But that's not enough
No, it's not enough

[Chorus]
'Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no

Just a little mercy
No
No

[Outro]
Just a little mercy
Just a little mercy
Just a little mercy

What have the artists said about the song?

Dallas Green:

I could do stuff like this all day. One day, I’ll make a record that’s literally just an hour of this. I love playing the same two chords for six minutes while I just try to ruminate on something. In this case, it’s that idea of: Do we really have to suffer as much as we do in order to find balance? And does life really have to be about this balance where you get as much joy as you get sadness, and you can’t have one without the other?
