Mercy in the Fire

Verse 1
You walked in like a warning sign
Black tie, sharp smile, alibi
Everybody said don’t look twice
But I’ve never been good with advice

Your hands don’t shake, your eyes don’t lie
But they hide something violent inside
I should run, I should save my breath
But I crave every inch of the threat

Pre-Chorus
You don’t love, you conquer
You don’t touch, you take
But when you say my name like that
I forget what’s at stake

Chorus
You’re the god of fury, I’m your favorite sin
Dragging me under, pulling me in
Say I should hate you, but I don’t try
I’d rather burn than say goodbye

If this is war, then I’ll stay and fight
Even if you ruin me every night
You’re my chaos, my truth, my fire
I found my mercy in your desire

Verse 2
You don’t beg, you don’t confess
But I hear it in your silence
Every scar you never showed
Every war you held in violence

I touch the edge of your control
Watch it crack, watch it fold
You say I don’t understand
But I’m the only one who can

Pre-Chorus
You don’t fall, you fracture
You don’t feel, you fake
But your walls start shaking
With every move I make

Chorus
You’re the god of fury, I’m your favorite sin
Dragging me under, pulling me in
Say I should hate you, but I don’t try
I’d rather burn than say goodbye

If this is war, then I’ll stay and fight
Even if you ruin me every night
You’re my chaos, my truth, my fire
I found my mercy in your desire

Bridge
Say it’s obsession, call it a crime
But you were never meant to be kind
And I was never meant to be safe
Still I’m kneeling at your flames

Break me, take me, make me yours
I’ve been knocking on locked doors
If loving you is my demise—
Then let me die in your eyes

Final Chorus
You’re the god of fury, I’m your favorite sin
No way out now, I’m too deep in
Let the world burn, let it all fall
I’d choose you through it all

If this is hell, then I’ll call it home
As long as I’m not alone
You’re my ruin, my dark desire
And I’ll worship you in the fire
