Verse
Rain crawling down the walls
I’ve been awake for days
Trying not to think of you
You look at me like mercy
Like something almost pure
And I don’t know how you still can
After everything I was
⸻
Chorus
So have mercy for the rotten
For the parts I couldn’t save
For the hunger in my bloodstream
For the mess I became
Hold me like a funeral
Like something already gone
Cause I swear I tried to love you
Before everything went wrong
⸻
Verse
Cold water in the sink
Your footsteps down the stairs
Every little thing about you
Still feels like prayer
And I know I make darkness
Out of everything I touch
But losing you feels worse
Than becoming what I was
⸻
Chorus
So have mercy for the rotten
For the hollow in my chest
For the nights I let the monsters
Sleep beside the bed
And if heaven ever wanted me
It forgot before I did
Now I only hear your voice
When the house goes dim
⸻
Outro
Saints don’t stay long here
Neither do you
Still I leave the lights on
Like a fool
