All in Your Name

It knows your name, it speaks it softly and it takes it in vain
It plays the game, it breaks the rules and it will break you the same
It's seen the plan, it holds the answer in the palm of its hand
It holds the key, it picks your lock and it discretely retreats

It holds its breath
It lures you in just like a moth to its flame
It sings its song and then it puts you to shame
It cuts the ties and does it all your name

It's here to stay, it knows the words you say to make it obey
It feels your pain, it twists the knife and it severs the vein
It doesn't ask, it takes it fill and leaves you empty and drained
It shows the way, it lights your path and then it leads you astray

You hold your breath
You walk away from this thing you can't tame
You sing your song and then you bury the shame
You cut the ties and do it all your name

It's all at once, it's never again
It takes its chance, it never explains
It's gift it is stained

It knows your name, it speaks it softly and it takes it in vain
It plays the game, it breaks the rules and it will break you the same
It's seen the plan, it holds the answer in the palm of its hand
It holds the key, it picks your lock and it discretely retreats

You hold your breath
You walk away from this thing you can't tame
You sing your song and then you bury the shame
You cut the ties and do it all your name
