Ours - Mercy Lyrics

In his heart
He's thinking that he's Ours
Teach him to be Ours
In his heart he couldn't ever find
Cause he might take his life
Teach him to be Ours

We went blind
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Couldn't see in time
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign

It's hard pretending that it's not
Still we're reaching
What do we want?

We went blind
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Couldn't sleep and I'm
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign

Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek

Mercy for the meek
I won't let you go
I won't leave you now

Saw Ours at the Roxy in Hollywood and then in a small venue in Salt Lake City. Had to fight back the tears it was so powerful.

endless hot this fucking Song

Is the song with the same lyrics as this literally called 'ours' by 'ours'? What album is it on?

Michael Green album is called Mercy

The one called ours is on the album sour

As for mercy. I think it was on Dancing for the death of an imaginary enemy

Beautiful. This was the first album and song that got me into Ours, after my mom's boyfriend found it at a Barnes & Nobles and it seemed cool to him. He played it and liked it and recommended me to check it out. I popped it into my CD player and was instantly blown away the moment I heard this song. I love how they sound like a mixture of U2, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Muse. And Jimmy Gnecco is an incredible vocalist. He does sound a lot like Bono, but he has more power and a bigger range than Bono does. It's too bad Ours is not as well known as they should be. They have the potential to make a big hit on the radio, but have yet to for some reason.

Darkness prevails
it surrounds
it entwines
it wont let gofills you up
encroached there
with no motivation to move onstay then
but let me go
I'm not choosing to stayYou want me
I don't want youbut how you persist

i saw these guys open for circa survive over a decade ago, this song still gets everytime..

This is SO good.

sounds like muse

Nothing like them

exactly Lucia, exactly but sometimes much better but the making of this duplication is only to find in the voice of Jimmy Gnecco and I think he is much longer a musican like the guys from MUSE, I love them both

they wish...

beautiful

Masterpiece.

This is fucking amazing

how come I'm just now discovering these wonderful bands 😍

Savannah Wolf waiting for a sign just waiting for a sign

this songs ok

I was listening to HIM before i came here and i forgot i came here

im here looking for samples but slowly starting to dig this shit

I feel like I just turned into Vampire. This shit is weird ass music I feel like I did something evil just by listening

very good

SHADBASE ARMY UNITE!!!

No one WE ARE THE ARMY

OMG i tought im the ionly one from there and liking this song so much

Marcel Cebula me too holy shit

memories

I've always loved this band. Can anyone tell me why it's so underrated though? Good things come in small packages!

@Meena Ali Meena, they are underrated because Jimmy Gnecco refuses to sell out. He's never dumbed down his craft to be more marketable as an artist.

+musicsaves97 HENCE WHY HES SO POOR.

But RICH with integrity!

You must live the pain, to understand the expressions in his lyrics...You can only hear the words, if you have felt emotions~ 😊
I met him several times, he is truly amazing~, sounds way better live~ Ms.Love~ ♥️🎶🎧

U2!! This is a great band!

just...wow

OfTheUSSEnterprise here here

I love scrolling to the comments on Ours videos and six different people will say Gnecco sounds like six different people, ahaha. Bellamy, Bono, Buckley, Yorke... Kinda says a bit about Gnecco's chops, don't you think?

@5stringsab The comparison to Matt is definitely valid, but I think Jimmy is a technically better singer and has more range (he can go a bit lower than Matt). This is coming from a *huge* MUSE fan...I've heard pretty much every song by them that's available to hear and have seen them 6 times, so I'm not slighting Matt. I'm very a big Ours/Jimmy fan too and have been since I saw 'Sometimes' on MTV2 waaaaay back when it premiered. Jimmy is absolutely amazing.

@5stringsab I AGREE!!! Kind of why I liked them to begin with. I saw them live once (they toured with Blue October). I thought they were on the radio only to walk out and see them on stage. Only one in the back of the crowd singing along :D

please make this available on mobile thanks!

this band.... this voice... is for big things... big croud!!!!

Ours <3 Love them so much! I went to their concert in 2008 in detroit and was in the front roe and it was like in between songs i yelled I WANNA F**K your brains out Jimmy Gnecco and he smiled and grabbed my hand! :) Love them!

My uncle showed me them XD For once, Roger got it right. I LOVE these guys!

singer sounds exactly like Bono

Rick Rubin strikes again! Great stuff

@Idhilsyn I agree, it's some powerful shit!

@ciremelf Truly a great band from any comparison.

Do you have Chapter 2 (Money)? I can only find the live version here on youtube.

@gmognecco

It would really help Jimmy out that we, instead of trying to find a free copy or showing people how to find his music for free, show our support for him and the band buy purchasing their music. Doing this would Jimmy continue on with his music.

Easily one of the most haunting songs I've heard in recent memory. The bulk of the song is this constant crescendo... then when it drops off into the melancholic drone at the end... Shivers, man.

the ending is fucking insanely melancholic

Or you could just buy it to support them ... just a thought.

yep. and best since jeff buckley =) fucking great music.

of jeff buckley* they used to be good friends =)

need more exposure! This song is so Amazing... he got the voice of heaven !

these guys got nice talent :)

AMAZING song. i love it <3

That is on the back of my leg HA
