Carve My Name

My mother told me to stop talking about killing

So I promised that I’d give her a song

But it won’t be long cuz I aint got long cuz I’ve done wrong

And I feel as if I’m barely hanging on

If you feel like I do and there’s hollowness inside you

And you just can’t seem to get things right

Your skins too tight and it keeps you up at night

Then wrap your fists around the handle of a knife

And recite

If you love me carve my name in your skin

And you’ll never be alone again

Fight

I haven’t written since they locked me in a cage

I was forced to remember it all

But I won’t be writing not tonite we will be fighting

And I’ll be standing right here beside you all

I want you to know there’s no day I don’t think of you

And your faces and our places and your names

And how were not like them we won’t pretend and we don’t change

And we will never ever be the same

So again

If you love me carve my name in your skin

And you’ll never be alone again

I fight

The sky made a face I never seen it make today

And I wished that I weren’t living this way

And God knows I try know there are days I don’t pray

But till they lay me down in the ground and I fade away

We will fight
