Lyrics

[Verse 1] It appears to me, quoting alarms The guillotine smirks in your house I smothered Sight unseen, sworn to harm Ground to a powder, and soaked through the board [Chorus] Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever) Ever trust my mercy Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever) Ever trust my mercy When will you flirt with all that's burnin'? Keep them safe and by your side [Verse 2] Of all that's left, a lucid home Anecdote settles in the smear of this corpse If the larva speaks ask where to go They mount the maker with a sulphur in fume [Chorus] Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever) Ever trust my mercy Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever) Ever trust my mercy When will you flirt with all that's burnin'? Keep them safe and by your side [Refrain] Of all the warnings that you gave me With all components in the fault Have you ever heard me scrapin'? It'll be hard To hold [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever) Ever trust my mercy Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever) Ever trust my mercy When will you flirt with all that's burnin'? Keep them safe and by your side [Refrain] Of all the warnings that you gave me With all components in the fault Have you ever heard me scrapin'? It'll be hard To hold [Bridge 1] All I hear, mending the gap Fall in here, might not make it back Call that someone, may they hear you Take me with you, it's not safe in here [Bridge 2] And all you ask is why, why, why And all you ask is why I'm certain you're holdin' on Mirror floats to the surface, holdin' on (Of all the warnings that you gave me With all components in the fault Have you ever heard me scraping? It'll be hard To hold) [Outro] Of all the warnings that you gave me With all components in the fault Have you ever heard me scrapin'? It'll be hard To hold They lost the presence they were holding Looks like the tenants flickered off If the cell that holds me breaks me, it'll be hard To hold
