If you could look inside my life and use my eyes, would you pity me? Would you see the desperate nights and all the lies that brought me to my knees? I keep thinking that I have to make you fall away I fell from your betrayal to bring me peace of mind I won't let you move along, just walk away And wear a cape like you're some hero I can't hear love cause we're at war And revenge is so loud And the drums are so proud But oh, I'm in a cage And I hear mercy say I'm here now And it's the only way out But revenge is so loud And the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage And I hear mercy say now It's the only way out I used to hear my father say Counterplay ends in defeat And I said I'd never be that way Tried to make you pay Cause it would cost me But you owe me so much more than what you gave Today is I guess every story twists People tell me let it go And forgive I can't hear love cause we're at war And revenge is so loud And the drums are so proud But oh, I'm in a cage And I hear mercy say I'm here now And it's the only way out But revenge is so loud And the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage And I hear mercy say now It's the only way out Mercy is the only way out Mercy gave me my way out Mercy gave me my way out
