Capote (Bullet Of Mercy)

from Post Katrina by Bryce Clifford & Brother Superior

/

lyrics

forgive me if I don't feel enough guilt for the love I've stolen,
just count myself lucky to have noticed
everything is breaking,
said things I didn't mean to get inside of her dreams,
cause her friends were making me all anxious
with their talk talk talk of impending war,
but they are fools,
they worry about their lovers’ inner-most thoughts,
when their love is dying,
this romance is the last drop you have got,

down in the jezreel valley,
where the 4 winds blow upon me,
c'mon mr. capote,
release me, with your bullet of mercy

there's beauty in failure,
but no one came forward to speak it at my trial,
there's failure in beauty,
only cuz it made your persecutors break a smile,

as soon as you believe me,
that everything's breaking
exactly then, a looter will approach you asking,
what are you planning on stealing?
cuz everyone's laughing,
in quiet rooms the actors are rehearsing
and I keep on believing
that I own the words to stop her from hurting,
but this crack in the earth just keeps on growing,
and everything they’re building,
rising like immortality,
brought down like a toy,
they will turn to spirituality,
and I’m so sick of these daughters
abandoned by their fathers
they break me with a little pout of the mouth and a thin grin,
hate the sin, love the sinner

down in the jezreel valley,
where the 4 winds blow upon me,
c'mon mr. capote,
release me, with your bullet of mercy

there's a moment for laughter,
none for innocence,
don't invite me to dinner if you're looking for sympathy,
you will not find a reassuring word from me,
I had half my foot out the door
and a jacket on my sleeve when you opened it for me,
c'mon mr. capote,
finish me with your bullet of mercy
