Hours Without Mercy
These hours without mercy
I seem to find myself in
Are they real or pretend
Are they enemy or friend

Inside world
Always collides with outside world
Old behaviors just killing saviors
Where's rescue when you don't know where to look

Everybody someday
Either wakes up or goes away
Everybody someday
Either wakes up or goes away

These hours without mercy
I seem to find myself in
Are they real or pretend
Are they enemy or are they friend

Sure wish I could
Shut off this waterfall mind
Sure wish I could
Just be another human
Passing another time

It's almost too much sometimes
And often not enough
In-betweens are the worst
Between the stop and get on up

Well I hope
This thing works out
Between the silence
And the overwhelming shout
