MARIONETTE 143

LYRICS: MERCY

MUSIC: MERCY

LONGING FOR

I CLOSE MY EYES I THINK OF HOW

I TORN A PART OF MY SOUL

I DON’T KNOW HOW

I DON’T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING

BUT I KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

AND I’LL KNOW

WHEN I SEE HER FACE

LOATHING FOR

I YEARN ALONE IN WEAKNESS

A CONSTANT HUNGER IN MY SOUL

I KNOW NOW

THIS VOID INSIDE NEEDS HEALING

I'M OUT OF TOUCH

OUT OF CONTROL

STILL I KNOW

WHEN I FIND MY MARIONETTE

I WILL PAINT THAT SILHOUETTE

I HAVEN'T FOUND MY ANGEL YET

IN THE NIGHT SHE COMES TO ME

KILLS THE PAIN THE MISERY

SHE’S MY SANCTUARY

AND I’LL KNOW

YES, I’LL KNOW

WHEN I SEE HER FACE

(SOLO MERCY)

AND I’LL KNOW

YES, I’LL KNOW

2x

WHEN I FIND MY MARIONETTE

I WILL PAINT THAT SILHOUETTE

I HAVEN'T FOUND MY ANGEL YET

IN THE NIGHT SHE COMES TO ME

KILLS THE PAIN THE MISERY

SHE’S MY SANCTUARY

WHEN I SEE HER FACE 11x

AND I’LL KNOW

WHEN I SEE HER FACE

CRUTCH

LYRICS: MERCY

MUSIC: MERCY

I LOVE THE THINGS THAT KILL MY BRAIN

I NEED THAT CRUTCH TO KEEP ME SANE

WHO KNEW THE WORLD WOULD BE THIS WAY

THE THINGS WE NEVER KNOW

I KEEP IT ALL INSIDE MY HEAD

SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID

YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND ME ANYWAY

NO MATTER WHAT I SAY

AND WHEN I FALL APART

I NEED THAT SPECIAL TOUCH

I ALWAYS GO FOR THAT CRUTCH

THAT CRUTCH, MY CRUTCH, THAT MAGIC TOUCH

IT'S ALL THAT I NEED, THAT CRUTCH, MY CRUTCH

THIS CRUSHES LIKE A KILLING GAME

I FIND IT HARD TO STAY AWAY

CREEPS IN JUST LIKE A DAISY CHAIN

IT'S RUSSIAN ROULETTE

*I NEED A WAY TO CLEAR MY HEAD

WHEN THINGS ARE BLUE WELL, I SEE RED

YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT, ANYWAY

JUST GO ABOUT YOUR DAY

(DUAL LEADS/MERCY/TORRES)

GOLDEN STATE KILLER

LYRICS: MERCY

MUSIC: MERCY/TORRES/GARZA/RAMOS

*END CHANT LYRICS: RAMOS/GARZA

WAITING IN THE SHADOWS

HIDING IN THE DARKNESS

CREEPING IN THE CALIFORNIA EVE

IN FEAR YOU START TO SHIVER

THIS PAIN I SHALL DELIVER

TO HEAR MY NAME WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES

PROWLING AT THE WINDOW

PSYCHOTIC INNUENDO

I’LL FIND A WAY TO GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD

I SNEAK IN THROUGH THE BACK

THIS NIGHT I WILL ATTACK

TIE YOU UP, TONIGHT, I HAVE MY WAY

GOLDEN STATE KILLER x2

(SOLO, MERCY)

BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK

THIS NIGHT I WILL ATTACK

BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK

I’LL BE COMING BACK

GOLDEN STATE KILLER

*THOUGHT YOU’D GET AWAY AND NEVER HAVE TO PAY

GOLDEN STATE KILLER

*KARMA WINS AGAIN AND THIS IS WHERE YOU END

TO YOU MY FATHER

WATCHING WHY OUR COUNTRY SLEEPS

WHY DON’T YOU WAKE US?

BEFORE WE GET IN WAY TOO DEEP

THE WALLS OF ANGER

THEY SURROUND US ALL AROUND

BRICK BY BRICK THEY LAY

NEVER LET US TOUCH THE GROUND

WHERE DO WE GO FROM NOW?

WHAT CAN WE DO?

WE’LL FIGURE IT OUT SOMEHOW

HEADLINES, WOE

THEY CALL IT HIT AND RUN

A TWISTED CASE OF BAD HYPOCRISY

HEADLINES, WHOA, WHOA

THE TRIAL HAS BEGUN

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY

THEY TRY TO DIVIDE US

SHOWING VIOLENCE IN THE STREETS

I DON’T SEE ANYTHING

THAT THEY PREACH IN FRONT OF ME

THE HOAX OF AGES

BURNED IN OUR DEMOCRACY

IT’S TIME TO IGNORE THE ONES

WHO THINK THEY KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR ME?

HEADLINES, WOE

THEY CALL IT HIT AND RUN

A TWISTED CASE OF BAD HYPOCRISY

(HEADLINES)

HEADLINES, WHOA, WHOA

(WOE, WHOA)

THE BULLETS IN THE GUN

I’M GONNA TAKE THIS ONE FOR FREEDOM

(BULLET FOR FREEDOM)

(SOLO/MERCY)

HEADLINES, WOE

THEY CALL IT HIT AND RUN

A TWISTED CASE OF BAD HYPOCRISY

HEADLINES, WHOA, WHOA

THE TRIAL HAS BEGUN

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY

HEY GRAB THAT BOTTLE

COME SIT BY THE FLAMES

OVER THERE THE WARS NOT OVER

BUT HERE’S A PLACE TO EASE SOME PAIN

THE BATTLE GOES ON FOR EVERYONE

TRYING TO FIND THEY’RE WAY

HEY STOKE THAT FIRE

THE BATTLE GOES ON FOR EVERYONE

TRYING TO FIND THEY’RE WAY

(INTRO SOLO/MERCY)

I HAD THE WORLD IN MY HANDS

I HAD IT ALL IN MY HANDS
I HAD TO LEAVE IT BEHIND
THIS TIME I'VE MADE UP MY MIND
AND I WONDER, AND I WANDER

I KISSED IT ALL GOODBYE
IT'S TIME TO WORK ON ME KNOW
TWISTED REALITY
BECAME A NIGHTMARE SOMEHOW
AND I WONDER, AND I PONDER WHOSE TO BLAME
AND I WONDER, STILL I WANDER FAR AWAY

I'M GONNA FALL AWAY
I'LL TAKE IT ALL AND FALL AWAY
I'VE GOT TO FIND AWAY
I'M NOT AFRAID TO FALL AWAY

(1stSOLO/TORRES)

(2ndSOLO/MERCY)

TODAY I SAID GOODBYE
I LEFT IT ALL BEHIND, I'M LEAVIN
I BROKE THE CHAINS OF MINE
NO NEED TO LOOK BEHIND
I'M MOVING ON

I'M GONNA FALL AWAY
FALL AWAY,

I'LL TAKE IT ALL

I'LL TAKE IT ALL AWAY

AND FALL AWAY

I'VE GOT TO FIND AWAY
BROKE THE CHAINS

I’M NOT AFRAID
I FOUND A WAY TO, FALL AWAY, YEAH

AND FALL AWAY
