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
