second look (a mercy) - tom (aus) lyrics

(zac)
this is the only thing you’ll understand on your first listening
i was christened by a god that gave me up for adoption
crop out my life those pure souls
that can’t afford this d*mned offering
started chess because i’m a god at checkers
christ crossed me off his check list
when peter picked his first peppers
piped away my sorrows
the moon borrows tomorrow’s mourning
the day i listen to the shoulder devil flaunting
is the day i k!ll a man for a check book
scared to see my mothers eyes pause for their sеcond look
i gave my cerebral for thе physical
acting like pascal’s triangle
more morning, more midday, less evenings
save my boosts because i might need them for the boss fight
the look in the mirror makes me know this one will take all night
people think walking away is a mercy
they haven’t been told they mean nothing on this earth, see
nothing hurts more than being told you’re one of the millions
and i know i hurt you because your second look looked different
at least when they hate you you are a separate being
lost my identity crisis i think i left it forward in time
waste a few years to catch up before the end of the line
these train tracks look like white steel
i think it’s made of my spine
(tom)
wait for what’s mine, fatal the faithful resign to design
prayed for a sign
feel the weight of the times, my plate full of lies
his jaw didn’t work, it was hate in his eyes
inhale until blind, that’s fate since his feet and bucket met
played for the pie, not a piece of it
bet this weak stomach gonna feast on it
peter picking his last pepper, morphine running through his veins until they couldn’t keep pumping
now i believe in nothing but fast endings
shoulder pressed the devil on my left
mother’s eyes weep sullen for what’s left
picking up rapping because i wasn’t good at chess
not what she would expect
even zac couldn’t bench what i’m getting off my chest
christ never crossed me off a little list, i just wasn’t on it to begin with
washed the thoughts up in my head
rotten honest little things that live in it
the most awful thing was how much i missed him this christmas
despite every crime i cried watching him commit against women that should’ve been his everything, sh*t
i can’t even hug her without worrying now about the thick stench
we walked home together from the hospital on the day of his death
i looked back in his room on my way out with a big breath
don’t know what i expected but the second look was different
