No mercy baby always crying
I see the world through so much poison
Didn’t bury his own father
Just a few years ago she told you
“We think it’s new but the future is older”
I can’t understand how this world could hold up
All this pain and all this weight
I’m not asking you to just wait for tomorrow
Deep in your chest stay sequestered and somber
Now instead I guess I’ll smash my fists on the walls of
This emptiness, baby, this house inside
But you know the future holds more deadly, deadly things
And I can’t help you out unless you tell me, tell me things
And who could've ever known you were running on empty, empty babe
These stories of the world before any, anything
Had crawled out on this globe, these deadly, deadly things
Yet you came back for me, such a pretty, pretty thing
The future is older than the past
Every new day carries the weight of the last
The future is older than the past
Every new day carries the weight of the last
Ya if I could I’d hold your face in,
“Oh I know this earth, this earth is just so giant
Got you thinking that you’re nothing”
But mama your pain and all your silence
My heart can’t bear this journey through the night
But you know the future holds more deadly, deadly things
And I can’t help you out unless you tell me, tell me things
And who could've ever known you were running on empty, empty babe
These stories of the world before any, anything
Had crawled out on this globe, these deadly, deadly things
Yet you came back for me, such a pretty, pretty thing
Yet you came back for me
Such a pretty, pretty thing
Yet you came back for me
Such a pretty, pretty thing
Such a pretty, pretty thing
Ya, this world is such a pretty thing
Such a pretty, pretty thing
Ya, this world is such a pretty thing
