Name


I want to show my name,

I want to break the rules of the game.

And you say it's just trying,

while I'm dying.

 

'So I heard you're the new friend',

you seem to be scared of my attire.

'Why do you look so bored?',

I seem to forget I'm tired.

 

I will show my name.

I will break the rules of the game.

 

I know my name,

I want to break free of the game.

And you say I'm not trying,

but I'm trying.

 

To find my way home.
