Mercy
We've got to fight it off
The sun meets our skin
Turning us ultra-violet colors
It's such a sin
Emit into the air
The calls of the wild
Someone's bound to hear
Be it adult or child
They scream 'Mercy!'
For they live no more
Sea to blackened sea
Stumps to trashy shore
If a tree falls in the forest
But no one is there
To hear it
Does it make a sound?
It's a beautiful lie
That we live in
All these beautiful people
That just seem to give in
Putting on plastic smiles
When the cameras roll
Only to take off the make up
As soon as they get home.
