Mercy me.
The world spins in one direction
 With the better part of you in unison
 But I plan to refuse
 But operate under the impression 
 That I’ll know my turn when I see it
 
 Because you’re always on 
 Took my turn and now it’s gone
 But never there to say
 You approve of who I am
 I just wanted a return of favor
 
 I get so sick of this small town
 A concrete weight that holds me down
 Soaring spirits can’t roam free
 Diverse means black and white
 You act like I’m not different
 
 So where is the world tonight?
 Somewhere that isn’t within sight
 And you’re all that I have
 So acknowledge it, please
 Or don’t waste your time on me
 
 Tonight my wrists are clean
 But what does that even mean?
 If my heart is bleeding out
 You my heal wounds
 But you can’t erase the scars
