For Mercy's Sake

For mercy's sake
What do I have to do
To make you human
To make you feel
Does it please you
To cut and hack
The love that comes your way
Is the heart so vile
That you must lacerate, incinerate
And rip it asunder
What do I have to do
To make you see
To have a little empathy
A little sympathy
If you want to leave
Then leave
Just don’t cut me on the way out
And let me bleed
To die
With the sound of your laughter in my ears
