Simplicity, does not come easy
When you’re dreaming of being someone else
And grace you see is fleeting
When you’re bleeding your innerself
Have Mercy on me please
Have Mercy, I’m on my knees
I’m being broken again and again
I’ll keep being broken until I remain
Open
When you're locked away,
Fighting shadows, constant battles
Trying to feel safe
When your own armor starts killing you,
Cause it’s causing you to sink beneath its weight
Call for mercy, won’t you please
Call for mercy, get on your knees
You’re being broken, again and again
You’ll keep being broken, until you remain
Open
So feel the pain, give into it
Cry till you crack, that’s how the light gets in
Set your weapons on the ground
Until you’re naked and trembling now
And when you think you can’t stand any more
Give mercy to someone in need
Give mercy, don't you see
Life will break our hearts, again and again
We’ll keep being broken until we remain
Open
Can’t you see
I have broken wide open
Let yourself be broken wide open
I have broken open

“This is the newest song on the album. I wrote it for myself. I was in a lot of pain when I wrote it. It really touches me when I sing it. It reminds me a little bit of “Hands” just in its message: yielding and giving instead of being more brittle and fighting and armored. I’ve been playing it live recently and it seems to be bringing a lot of comfort to people. People often cry when I sing it. It's always nice when you create something for yourself that you really needed to hear and it seems to be something other people needed to hear as well.” — Picking Up the Pieces Press Release
