Mercy

captured light reflected in, shines a light on inner sin,
is it me or just my shadow, deep and dark the feelings hide,
rescue me from thoughts of doom, scared of things outside my room,

chasing thoughts of suicide the coward runs away to hide
scared of living, afraid to die, wont come out wont even try,
callus hands give proof of life, danger weilding the sharpened knife

demons come into the night, he gives in without a fight,
knowing they will always win, so much easier to just give in
tripping on the rules laid down, wearing deaths hollow crown

shiny beacons along the way, points of light they always say
follow them and you'll be saved, resurrected from the grave
sins forgiven all is well, love forsaken burns in hell

take me now I have to go, running faster to and fro
its just a place where time stands still, empty hearts to fulfill
asking mercy please forgive, its life I love let me live
