On Brave Mountains We Conquer - Silverstein

My name is anything that I want it to be

I’m striking chords in a way you’ve never seen

But I’m a long shot, I fought the fight and lost

I can’t take it, I won’t make it now

I’ve given everything, I’ve let you take over me

I’m climbing mountains but drowning in the sea

And I admit it, I don’t regret it

You’ve taken everything and left these broken wings

So here I lay…

I never thought you would leave me here

A jaded mess full of hate and fear

I’m playing the victim but I only have myself to blame

I’ll rename, restart this game

My name is anything that you want it to be

Your games are endless but I can guarantee

I’ll be the last one to ever give this up

I’ll take it all away until I get my day

But here I lay…

I never thought you would leave me here

A jaded mess full of hate and fear

I’m playing the victim but I only have myself to blame

I’ll rename, restart this game

I’m giving up this time

I can’t take anymore of these confines

I’ve become something I’m not

A person who plays it safe, everything I hate

So here I’ll lay, you finally got your way

I never thought you would leave me here

A jaded mess full of hate and fear

I’m playing the victim, I still only have myself to blame

End my reign, I’ll fade away

My name I will not say, you have never heard of me

It keeps reminding me what I’ll never be
