Ultraviolet Mercy

Violet sign above the empty street (ahhh)

Pale skin in the violet light

Closed stores, the city is asleep

Shadows softer than the truth tonight

There is no mercy in ultraviolet

Unreal reflections on the glass

There is no mercy in ultraviolet

Waiting for relief that does not pass

Purple reflections on the cold concrete

We wait for a healing that never starts

This violet light makes everything look complete

But it cannot fix our broken hearts

There is no mercy in ultraviolet (no mercy) Unreal reflections on the

glass

There is no mercy in ultraviolet

Waiting for relief that does not pass

The light made every wound

beautiful enough to ignore

(beautiful enough)

We cover our

eyes

But we

cannot hide

anymore

There is no mercy in ultraviolet

(no

mercy)

Unreal reflections on the glass

There is no mercy in ultraviolet

Waiting for relief that does not pass

Morning returned every color I had hidden (every color)
