Love and Mercy (Live at Driftwork Sound) Lyrics

I've got words to say concerning love and violence

No more overthinking no more suffering in silence

No more Sammy for shame

Bite my tongue supposing fun is infinite

All the while a peaceful smile keeps me up tight

When I aim just to please

I feel a sort of dis-ease

The chips will fall where they may

I'll not be swayed

From questioning love and mercy and how they've truly served me

And how have I them? In silence, in stationary solace

Planless and Sam, sentimental, ever fearful sometimes gentle

Brought up on love and mercy and tears

Can anybody deny

That to grow is to die

And to love is to grow?

If that is so

I think maybe love and violence aren't so easily divided

We're not talking cuts and bruises we're talking everyday abuses

Like waking you up much to early, smoking too much, getting surly

Like a hit every "no" and "maybe" and "please"

That's why I'm questioning love and violence
