Mercy Arms

I can see coal machines, wires and tiny plugs

Telling you to breathe on time, helping you hold a pulse

If I could take away what's got you lying still under the chemicals

Believe me I will try; if you need me I'll be like a sentinel

I can feel the frustration swim in your blood

I can see you're still here, your heart won't give up

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

Everyday brings you closer to the grave

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

No more waiting for life to slip away

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

Stop with your deliberation

Is this your return to mercy arms?

You're in a fight with time, it's pulling you limb from limb

Trying to test all you've got, how much you want to live

It sounded like you said something like I don't want to go there and fight, save yourself

Even though you're not alone, you must do this on your own, there's no-one else

I can feel the frustration swim in your blood

I can see you're still here, your heart won't give up

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

Everyday brings you closer to the grave

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

No more waiting for life to slip away

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

Stop with your deliberation

Is this your return to mercy arms?

(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)

Is this your return to mercy arms?

The return to mercy arms...

I'll wait 'til you wake up...
