Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy Lord
My knees are pressed together as they hit the floor
Carrying this weight got me insecure
You've seen me in this place many times before
My hands are unclean and my soul is weary
My tongue has been mean but I hope you'll hear me
I step up on the stage, in the spotlight
I get distracted by the twitter chirping in the night
I'm nervous that I'll probably forget my lines
I'm nervous cause I mess them up like all the time
Even though I know the script, I completely drift
I'm stuck in a loop like a twitter gif
I'm singing about the truth that is so legit
When I'm really a coward and a hypocrite
Cause today I say Amen
But tomorrow, make mayhem
And I will need your mercy all over again
Good Lord, have mercy on my soul
Lately evil has a hold on me
Lately evil has a hold on me
Good Lord, can you forgive these technical difficulties?
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy Lord
My knees are pressed together as they hit the floor
Every single hour, fighting voices in my head
I have been a coward with so much I haven't said
I'm telling people "don't miss what's infront of you"
But overthinking is exactly what I want to do
The best place on earth is together right?
But sometimes I want to be alone forever
I'm really the one thinking I got the answer
Aki Ola just catalyzed the cancer
How will I know if people really love me
When I don't even put their daily needs above me?
I've been eating with the dogs, now I'm asking for a bone
I'm standing alone, infront of your throne
Cause today I say Amen
But tomorrow, make mayhem
And I will need your mercy all over again
Good Lord have mercy on my soul
Lately evil has a hold on me
Lately evil has a hold on me
Good Lord, can you forgive these technical difficulties?
Good Lord, can you forgive these technical difficulties?
Life is the greatest performance there ever was
And we are cast without even the option to audition
Thrown on to the stage without a chance at rehearsal
No training, no rule book, no nothing
Nobody's born prepared to write their script while performing it
And being bombarded by plot twists in half the scenes
How to handle malfunctions
Like when the person you were so sure you were yesterday
Feels like a costume
When the audio setup feels like all microphones and no speakers
Or feedback so loud you can't hear yourself think
How to ensure the show goes on when our lights go out
And the set feels like a different solar system
That we have to relearn how to navigate each day
When the sun's expiry is infinitely easier to calculate
Than what the next act will bring
When we slip and fall in the center of the stage
When we forget all our lines in the midst of our pain
How to become the support in someone's else story
While trying to be a worthy main character in yours
Life is the greatest performance there ever
