Verse 1:
BmMy eyes won't Ampretend
I didn't know Gyou F#were Emclose
I can Gsmell your Ambreath
Through a freshly GpainF#ted dEmoor
SBmtand here in your coAmat
While I pour tGhree mF#ore gEmlasses of burgundy
And yGou can lick the Amdust fGrom F#the bEmottle
Verse 2:
BmWall's bricked with bAmooks
Pages bGricked F#with wEmords
GEach mark has been sAmtained in your hEmonor
GrouBmnd shadow staggers Amrestless
From the window Gcross F#the Emcandle to the Gcorner
My blood and water's Amwarm as you near Emme
Chorus:
GI'm not begging for Emmercy
GI see no love of mercy in Emyou
GI'm not begging for Emmercy
BmI'm only wAmaiting for the sound
Of the morning birds
To send Gyou F#awaEmy
Verse 3:
Wax is cooled, hard
Sights is going past the yard
In this house I make more shadows than you
Stand there in your hate
While I drink from the second burgundy
And you can rattle the glass cross your belly
(Chorus)
I'm not begging for mercy
I'm not begging for mercy
I'm only waiting for the sound
Of the morning birds to swallow you...
