Quarter Deck - Hand Of Mercy

I can’t deny I saw it coming, with my own two eyes

I’ve learnt to second guess, because it’s not the first time

I had to double take, rub my eyes just to make sure I’m awake

That’ll teach me to care at all

So set the record straight

You be you, and i’ll be irate

Being let down is now a frequency

No sign of shame or self reflection

I can’t continue to give a fuck

You have not learnt from your most ancient mistakes

Facing a catastrophic repeat of fate

Set up burn yourself, we the audience sit back

We don’t repeat ourselves

You don’t make up for what you lack

You don’t redeem your bitter act

I can’t deny I saw it coming, with my own two eyes

I’ve learnt to second guess, because it’s not the last time

I had to double take, rub my eyes just to make sure I’m awake

That’ll teach me to care at all

So set the record straight

You be you, and i’ll be irate

Being let down is now a frequency

No sign of shame or self reflection

I can’t continue to give a fuck

Time spent in vain is time never to be

Another drop in the ocean, another ship wreck I see

Catch up catch up, forever chasing your tail, So much promise only set up to

fail

Search for hope, I know there’s nothing to find

Just another case of leading to the blind

Search for perfection, but you’re too far off course

Nothing left now, only doubt, and remorse

I’ve discarded, all that lit the path

That led to this grim aftermath

Smoke and mirrors cannot hide this disgrace

I’m ready to forget your face

A stranger takes your place
