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
