Mercy

I sit atop this parking garage as town folk meddle about Most of my young life spent in this place It's been a few long months since A.K. got shut down The last coil signed with all their names My mother found out yesterday she's to find another job I guess the stock of Mercy is down I've been looking for a way, an excuse will do just fine To get out of this God-forsaken town But it's on the horizon The change has come to be The city lights will make a man of me There ain't nothing in this town That hasn't been shut down Or soon to be headed that way But it all dies in the end, so what's it matter anyway They used to come in droves, or so I've been told Way back in the golden days But all that's left here now is all but burned out Empty promises were made to break A new company comes to town, they put a shovel in the ground And swear to be a savior to our place And they finally got their funds, doesn't matter where they're from Another company lie right to our face But it's on the horizon The change has come to be The city lights will make a man of me There ain't nothing in this town That hasn't been shut down Or soon to be headed that way But it all dies in the end, so what's it matter anyway I sit atop this parking garage, looking over at Ohio Lord, I don't want to leave her out to dry But she's gasping for air and there ain't no air to spare She'll be gone before the morning light But it's on the horizon The change has come to be The city lights will make a man of me There ain't nothing in this town That hasn't been shut down Or soon to be headed that way But it all dies in the end, so what's it matter anyway Yeah it all dies in the end, so what's it matter anyway
