no mercy

[Verse 1]

I can't teach myself to fly

Everyone wants me to die

There's another girl inside

Who cuts herself and always hides

And they all break her, and they throw rocks

They pick on her until she cries

Circle like vultures, for easy targets

For someone scared and traumatized

They diagnose me, CPTSD

They say splitting happens sometimes

The treatments work but, the job undoes it

I get sick when I look online

[Bridge]

Please leave my friend alone inside my head

And let me mend the damage you have left

Cuz you've done plenty, that's enough

I beg, leave us to be

I can only do so much

To glue again these parts of me

[Verse 2]

I was sober until I came back

I take oxys half the time now

People close worry about me

People far want my demise now

And they don't know they already got it

They don't know we rot inside

Ronnie's fine but, Lydia's bleeding

She disappears for months at a time

So I just handle what I can for her

It's even hard for me sometimes

I get too high 'til my body's shaking

And all I can do is write

And so I'll write

And you won't listen

And you'll make 30 million tweets

But you don't need to

It's self-sustaining

I tell the truth, they laugh at me

[Hook]

Fine keep drinking, take what's left

Siphon everything we have

I see your hunger knows no end

I hope someone stronger's next

My soul is weak

I've not one piece of metal plate still shielding me

Now I've forgotten how to breathe

Thought I could fly, god, how naïve

You've no mercy
