Write my name in blood
Let it scar your lungs
as it rolls off your tongue
Write my name in blood
when all freedom is gone
Write my name in blood
Spell it out for all to see
Now listen
The moment that the pen hurts
more than the gun is the moment that
I lost my mind
Losing faith in humanity
and faith in equality
It's time to shine light
on these blackened times
Speak my name
Suffocating in this world
I'm lost for words
and I can't breathe
I'm lost for words
Scream my name
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe and I can't speak
We are lost for words
I'm lost for words
Locked up and shot down
for speaking our minds
Paying the price to live
but living to die
You put your hand over my mouth
I put my pen to this paper
Now I'm a murderer for speaking my mind?
We've been censored at mouth shot down
dead for speaking out
Who knew that free speech was a crime?
Speak my name
Suffocating in this world
I'm lost for words and I can't breathe
I'm lost for words
Scream my name
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe and I can't speak
We are lost for words
I'm lost for words
You can replace my tongue
with the barrel of a gun
But you won't shut me up
Burn my name into the earth
as I dance on the lips of the world
Let it scar your lungs
as it rolls off your tongue
Write my name in blood
when all freedom is gone
Write my name in blood
Spell it out for all to see
Now listen
The moment that the pen hurts
more than the gun is the moment that
I lost my mind
Losing faith in humanity
and faith in equality
It's time to shine light
on these blackened times
Speak my name
Suffocating in this world
I'm lost for words
and I can't breathe
I'm lost for words
Scream my name
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe and I can't speak
We are lost for words
I'm lost for words
Locked up and shot down
for speaking our minds
Paying the price to live
but living to die
You put your hand over my mouth
I put my pen to this paper
Now I'm a murderer for speaking my mind?
We've been censored at mouth shot down
dead for speaking out
Who knew that free speech was a crime?
Speak my name
Suffocating in this world
I'm lost for words and I can't breathe
I'm lost for words
Scream my name
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe and I can't speak
We are lost for words
I'm lost for words
You can replace my tongue
with the barrel of a gun
But you won't shut me up
Burn my name into the earth
as I dance on the lips of the world
