about

There is no mercy.

lyrics

Mercy comes in many shapes and sizes
Like a skyscraper with no advertisements
Not cluttered with pop art galore
Just functional and gothic and capitalist gore

How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?
How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?

How do you know?
How do you know?

Mercy is a an ever fickle beast
May decide one day to make you the feast
Not dressed up with apéritif
Not designed to be true relief

How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?
How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?

How do you know?
How do you know?

Mercy makes us both strong and weak
The feeling you get when you can't even speak
The lump in your throat from swallowing your pride
You failed but at least you tried

How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?
How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?

How do you know?
How do you know?
How do you know?
How do you know?

How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?
How do you measure the size of a soul?
It's as if it isn't there, how do you know?
