Lost For Words
Betraying the Martyrs Lyrics

Write my name in blood
I want my name to signify something important and blood is a powerful symbol of sacrifice

Let it scar your lungs as it rolls off your tongue
My name should be spoken with such force that it leaves a mark on the singer

Write my name in blood when all freedom is gone
My name is a last resort, a symbol of resistance when freedom is taken away

Spell it out for all to see
My name should be visible and known to all, a symbol of defiance

The moment that the pen hurts more than the gun is the moment that I lost my mind
When freedom of expression is taken away, violence may become necessary as a last resort

Losing faith in humanity and faith in equality
My experiences have led me to question the fundamental values of society

It's time to shine light on these blackened times
We need to bring attention to the dark aspects of our society in order to address them

Speak my name
My name is a symbol of resistance and should be shouted from the rooftops

Suffocating in this world I'm lost for words and I can't breathe I'm lost for words
The weight of the problems in society is overwhelming, making it difficult to express myself

Scream my name
My name should be spoken with such force that it demands attention

I'm suffocating I can't breathe and I can't speak
The oppressive nature of society is making it difficult to express myself and be heard

We are lost for words
Many people are feeling the same way and are unable to express themselves properly

Locked up and shot down for speaking our minds
Society punishes those who speak out against it with violence and incarceration

Paying the price to live but living to die
Society forces us to conform and punishes us for speaking out, making us feel trapped and hopeless

You put your hand over my mouth, I put my pen to this paper
Even if you try to silence me, I will find a way to express myself and speak out

Now I'm a murderer for speaking my mind?
Society criminalizes free speech, making even the most innocent of actions punishable

We've been censored at mouth, shot down dead for speaking out
Society punishes those who speak out against it with violence and death

Who knew that free speech was a crime?
Society claims to value free speech, yet punishes those who exercise it

You can replace my tongue with the barrel of a gun
Even if you try to silence me through violence, I will continue to speak out

But you won't shut me up
I will not be silenced, no matter the cost

Burn my name into the earth as I dance on the lips of the world
My name will be remembered long after I am gone, a symbol of resistance and defiance
