My fall draws near.
My life fell out of my hands and into
This hole where everything's cold
I lose the feeling of guilt. There's
Nothing inside, my innocence died.
And now the emptiness grows, it's
Bringing me down and taking my crown
I've seen where everything's dark.
It's here in my soul, I'm losing control.
[Chorus]
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me for every thorn I've driven in.
Within these walls you'll see
Alone in here - the end.
Before my very last day I'm making it stop.
I'm turning it off.
I'll fight the feeling I have until everything's
Gone. Resistance has won
Now time is healing these wounds and
You are still here releasing my fear
My life fell out of my hands. They
Took it away, I'm taking it back.
[Chorus]
And everyday I feel like this weight's
Constantly dragging me down
Broken for the last time (Never get the best of me, won't get the best of me)
I've got a heart of steel, but your words are
Constantly bringing me down.
I'm open for the first time (Never get the best of me, won't' get the best of me)
[Chorus]
My fall draws near.

It's here in my soul, I'm losing control.
[Chorus]
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me for every thorn I've driven in.

The beauty of God's grace is that one needn't plea for His forgiveness. I think that the last part is the singer realizing how his dwelling on the remorse is just breaking him down, because that's not how Christ's forgiveness is supposed to work. That kind of contradicts with the first part, where he says that he's lost the feeling of fuilt. But maybe that's it. He's not guilty, so his cries for mercy are half-hearted. He realizes that his situation is causing him to detiorate and "his fall" is drawing near. shrug Sounds good to me! :-D
