lyrics

Mercy Break
Inspired by Jeanne Chance

Uncross these rusty wires
Draw me a conclusion
Endless bitter whispers
From a childhood of delusion
Silence these years
Hold out your scars

So splendid at engaging
The mask, the myth, the mother
I didn’t see the daughter
Till the sickness fell upon you
How pretty your eyes
No time for disguise

Here I am
Seeing you
Slip myself into your shoes
And I walk until forgiveness falls like rain
Let mercy break, let mercy break the chains

No more judge and jury
Acquitted of these sins
A proverb I am reading
Told me peace is found within
Silence these years
I hold out my scars

It never was your mission
To make me feel complete
We’re all contaminated
By the same twisted pathology
But saved by grace
We say goodbye this way

Here I am
Seeing you
Slip myself into your shoes
And I walk until forgiveness falls like rain
Let mercy break, let mercy break the chains

Beauty for ashes
Freedom for tears
Now I can thank you
For loving me in your way
For giving me time to say

Here I am
Seeing you
Slip myself into your shoes
And I walk until forgiveness falls like rain
Let mercy break, Let mercy break the chains
Let mercy break, Let mercy break the chains

about

Levi Kreis Nashville, Tennessee

I"m a singer and songwriter from East Tenessee. Since my debut album in 2005, I've explored a myriad of genres from piano pop to rock to Americana soul. I'm most at home when it feels a bit gospel, a bit country and a bit poppy. You'll usually find my lyrics explore personal growth and I'm not afraid to be vulnerable with you. Thanks for being here. It's good to meet you. ... more
