I've lost the thread among the vines,
And hung myself in story lines,
That tell the tales I never would allow.
God knows the name of every bird,
That fills my mind like angry words,
But you know all my secret heart avows
.
We're taught to love the worst of us,
And mercy more than life but trust me
Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow,
I live for yours
And you can't fail me now,
I live for your mercy...
You can't fail me now,
You can't fail me now.
