The song contains piano octaves in the verses, similar to [[Starlight (song)|Starlight]]. It gets heavy during the build-up and in the choruses, when arppegiated synth also kicks in. The choruses are similar to those of [[Stockholm Syndrome (song)|Stockholm Syndrome]]. The melodies sound fairly positive, in oposition of the previous two songs of the album.

Lyrics

(These lyrics are a draft version based on the iHeartRadio's gig; feel free to correct and finish lyrics)
[Verse]
Pray for me, I’ve fallen on the inside
I tried to change the pain
They’ll try to infiltrate
Now I need to let it go
And though it seems to (Warm my soul)
Save me from ghost of shadows
Before they eat my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy
Mercy
[Chorus]
Show me Mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
... 
[Verse 2]
I..
Decided to be/me
Though I have been hypnotised 
By a greater puppeteer
Tell me how to let it go
Though it tends to bring me down
Running from ghost of shadows
The world just feels surround 
[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy
Mercy
[Chorus]
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
Can someone rescue me
Show me mercy 
Show me mercy please
[Bridge]
Help me
I’ve fallen on the inside
And I’m a … ghost
Turn into a
…
[Chorus]
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
From the killing machines
Show me mercy 
Show me mercy
Woah
