[It Calls out my Name Jason Branton]

 

I call out my own name
Can you tell me how this happened?
When did I become so low
And it all feels like pain
In my heart it’s stabbing
Memories of someone better that you’ll never know
I just want it to simply end
All the pieces unshattered
As soon as my eyes close
Why it happened I can’t explain
My spirit is becoming so tattered
Every day just feels the same

And when you call out my name
I won’t be able to tell you how it happened
You’ll never find out I died slow
And a smile you must maintain
Just pretend this ain’t happening
Look away like I’m someone you don't know
And now I finally have my end
A place where nothing ever mattered
And it’s residents won’t suppose
That the blood came from my vein
Landed on a puzzle of glass so shattered
That spells out my name
