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
