To Write On My Heart

Mercy

I'm at the mercy of my brain

And it's eating me alive

So I saw the skin that was trapping me in

And I ripped at the outside

Until it looked like my heart

Ravaged and bleeding

It was pure from the start

And now was barely beating

I'm in a rut, it's all the same

In the shadows of a demon

And it’s driving me insane

I know there’s no escape

I’m at the mercy of my brain
