Lyrics

Small Mercy

Saturday's joy was a fool's pursuit as expected
Now I'm planning my funeral
Over Sunday's cold breakfast
Bitterness is lonely
But there's wisdom in pain
For a second I lost my head
But it was right where I left it

Make a house a home
You're living there alone
Make a house a home
You're living there alone

Small mercy
Come find me
I'm ready to be found

Wipe it all clean and move through me
With confidence and care
There's a ghost in the machine
And it carries the serenity prayer
If judgement is a mirror
The pain killer is a little lampoon
It's something like seeing myself in the back of a spoon

Make a house a home
You're living there alone
Make a house a home
And take care of your own

Small mercy
Comfort me
Come find me
I'm ready to be found

Glasgow's The Joy Hotel are ready to unveil their debut album, 'Ceremony'

The lead single, 'Jeremiah', is a song about confronting the end, with two opposing perspectives: one welcoming it with faith, the other gripped by existential dread.
