Mercy To Go — текст песни (Odds)

My heart`s getting bigger so I need a new pant size
When you`re the towere of strength people climb up your backside
So you don`t stay that way too long
You`re only temporarily strong
I`ve got mercy, mercy to go
I`ve got mercy, mercy to go
I`ve got mercy, mercy to go
& then it`s all gone
you don`t swim up and grab a drowning man
`cause he`ll use you as a life raft if he can
it`s better to hold out a branch
then the tree, and then the whole ranch
`cause I`ve got mercy, mercy to go
I`ve got mercy, mercy to go
I`ve got mercy, mercy to go
& then it`s all gone
as I mature I learn to speak my mind
on the other hand
I learn to be patient & let it rider
Between these two traits is a line
You step on it all of the time
Why do these things always happen to you?
I wish I had the time to let them swallow me too
When we count up all of our wounds
You`re the desert, I`m one of the dunes
I never met a manipulator that wasn`t paranoid
They see in themselves what in others they should avoid
All the devious plans aren`t there
Ghosts fly out from under their hair
And I get to hear about it, and it comes in heavy waves
And I`m lying under your downer, with no breathing space
And I`ve still got mercy, mercy to go
And when it`s all gone
I guess it`s all gone
