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.

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

[Bridge]
Show me mercy 
Show me mercy please
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
