The Road To Ruin - Mercy Finds A Way

I feel like I'm never gonna age
I'm frozen in this space waiting for a gale
I'm glad the things I love are far away
I'm glad that they'll be safe when the raindrops fill the pail

As no time at all becomes all the time I have
Mercy finds a way to slow me down
I wonder at the leaves, the insects and the reeds
And I thank my life for every sight and sound

Muted yellow light brings in the storm
And the glow exposes every perfect form
Spread out like a dress before it's worn
Unbloodied as the hand before the thorn

Then the memory is all that's left

Records just keep breaking on the news
But I don't understand the system that they use
I'm taken by the bruises in the sky
And I'm lifted as the sunset starts to cry

As no time at all becomes all the time I have
Mercy finds a way to slow me down
I wonder at the leaves, the insects and the reeds
And I thank my life for every sight and sound

Muted yellow light brings in the storm
The glow exposes every perfect form
Spread out like a dress before it's worn
Unbloodied as the hand before the thorn

Then the memory is all that's left
