lyrics

I woke at the first light like it was the first light of my life
I had the worst night, might have been the worst night of my life
Turned and tossed on a sea of silence
Licking up the salt of my own tears
I was lost in my own defiance ‘til I washed up here

Oh, I'm thirsty for mercy
But I keep spilling that cup
Oh, I'm thirsty for mercy
And you keep filling it up

Call it a fist fight: she let fly 'cause I let slip
And now I can't kiss right - I've got this crack across my lips
The trouble starts with the crack between them
That's where the words escape my mouth
I try to stop if I don't mean them, but it still goes south

Oh, I'm thirsty for mercy
But I keep spilling that cup
Oh, I'm thirsty for mercy
And you keep filling it up

I walked a dry and weary land
(Among the thorns, between the thieves)
I struck a stone and washed my hands
(A woman mourns, a body bleeds)
I'm the first to quench my thirst
But I'm the last to raise my glass to you
(Why have you forsaken me?)
Father, forgive me

Oh, I'm thirsty for mercy
But I keep spilling that cup
Oh, I'm thirsty for mercy
And you keep filling it up
