Mercy from Structural Mercy by Surrounder

Turn my car off

You’re on my porch

Seeking shelter from another downpour

A refuge I hope you can take home

Oh

Cover you as you walk through it all

There’s a cross on all your lines

Parts of you left behind

Clearer stories disappear

'Til it’s not even your own voice that you hear

Badadadaaaaa

I can hear

Quiet voice

Keeping up

How long 'til what is loud is also clear?

There is no structural mercy

It has no structural mercy

So you stretch, then compress

Every morning and every night

I’ve been held under too

And come back up for air

I’ll give you my breath

'Til you get out of there

While there’s still some of you left

The fire exit reads

“The alarm will sound”

It’s hard to believe that

This massive psy-op fits behind

The face you wake up to

I hope when you realize

All the work you’ve put into fighting their fight

And losing everything,

There’s some residue

What’s left is misplaced

In the bottom of your suitcase

And that’s just what you’ll find when you get home

That’s what you’ll unpack in your new home

What’s left is misplaced

In the bottom of your suitcase

And that’s just what you’ll find when you get home

That’s what you’ll unpack in your new home
