Not much is known about this song yet. It will be the next single and be aired on radios worldwide on Monday 18th May. The song was live premiered at iHeartRadio's gig in New York in May 2015. The live recording of this live debut was uploaded to SoundCloud but has since been removed.
The song contains piano octaves in the verses, similar to 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. The melodies sound fairly positive, in opposition of the previous two songs of the album.

(These lyrics are a draft version based on the iHeartRadio's gig; feel free to correct and finish lyrics) [Verse] Help me, I’ve fallen on the inside I tried to change the game I tried to infiltrate But now I'm losing Manic Hosts Only seem to run the show Save me from the ghost to shadows Before they eat my soul [Pre-Chorus] Mercy Mercy [Chorus] Show me Mercy From the powers that be Show me mercy Can someone rescue me [Verse 2] Absent gods in silent tyranny We're going under Hypnotized by another puppeteer Tell me why the manic hosts always have to bring me down We're running from ghost to shadows The world just dissolves [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 manic host Trying to devour my soul [Chorus] Show me mercy From the powers that be Show me mercy From the godless and mean Show me mercy From the killing machines Show me mercy Show me mercy Woah
