Not much is known about this song yet. It is rumored that it will be the next single. The song was live premiered at iHeartRadio's gig in New York in May 2015.

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.

[Verse]
(Come) 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
It always seems to
Warm my soul
Save me from the
Ghost of shadows
Before I eat my soul
[Pre chorus]
Mercy
Mercy
[Chorus]
Show me Mercy
From the.. 
Show me mercy
... 
[Verse 2]
I..
Decided to be/me
Though we have been hypnotised 
By a greater
Puppeteer
Tell me how to
Let it go
Though it tends to
Bring me down
Running from the
Ghost of shadows
The world just
Feels surround 
[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy
Mercy
[Chorus]
Show me mercy
From the 
Show me mercy
Cause someone 
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 a power to be
Show me mercy
From a
Show me mercy
From a 
Show me mercy 
Show me mercy
Woah
