Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They took my shoes at the door
Took my watch, took more
I signed my name and watched it fade
Into a file they made
Hands shook cold on the bed
Hard floor, bare head
I counted cracks till morning came
And I still answered to no name
[Pre-Chorus]
No phone, no keys
No say in my own weeks
A line of rules on every wall
And I felt so small
[Chorus]
They took my name
They took my say
Locked my life away
I was scared to pray
They took my name
Left me in gray
I was still awake
But I had nowhere safe
[Verse 2]
The mail came late, if it came
Letters lost in the game
My voice got thin in that room
Like winter without bloom
Every step had a sound
Every face looked down
I learned how silence can bite
When the dark takes hold too tight
[Pre-Chorus]
No choice, no trust
Just dust and rust
I learned the shape of fear
When no one hears
[Chorus]
They took my name
They took my say
Locked my life away
I was scared to pray
They took my name
Left me in gray
I was still awake
But I had nowhere safe
[Bridge]
But I kept one thing alive
A slow, stubborn line
In the cut of each long day
I was still myself in gray
I made a pulse from the pain
A thread through the rain
And when the gate swung wide
I brought my name back inside
[Final Chorus]
They took my name
They took my say
Locked my life away
I was scared to pray
They took my name
Left me in gray
I was still awake
But I found my way
