My eyes like an angel’s, my heart was yellow
Bring on the changes, I’m raring to go
Id already fell for life on the road
Romanticized by movies and song

(But) I got no mercy when the road came calling
I got no mercy when the boys came falling at my feet
(But) I got no mercy when the road came calling
No mercy for me

I took so many chances, and people took chances on me
Oh lord now I pay taxes, and advantage is taken for free
Living on coffee, going insane
Speaking so softly that they don’t even know my name

Oh and I’m slowly becoming a woman
The younger me would be proud of

No mercy

Clean your cup and i'll fill in the sky
Listen as you watch me through the open blinds
We grind our pens to nubs
We only speak in tongues
Pull your memories from the open flames
And clean the ashes up off the wooden floor
You case the place for signs of grace
While the speakers decorate the wind

Composure begets closure
Memories always remain
Cause fortune's always hiding
Beneath the April rain

You've found the garden under the crimson moon
The gates are locked, you hop the fence — the roses are in bloom
An ancient fortress no longer under siege
Abandoned now, forgotten cause
a distant war remains unseen
fuck the silence, no mercy for the still
components arc and signals fade
the stars consume their fiery fill

composure begets closure
words so often fade away
glory is everlasting
drought always ends with rain....

...so let the dam break
til it flows a river forth
it consumes all of us wondering
whether to heed the call of suffering
or transcend into devotion

DEVOTION
