[Verse 1]
Needles in the carpet
Names carved in the doorframe paint
Laughter like a ghost in here
Their faces frozen in my brain
Ashtray on the window
Phone that never lights again
They said they’d call tomorrow
Tomorrow never came
[Chorus]
This is for the ones who didn’t make it
We know that you were fighting every day
Every step was walking through the flames
We scream your names
We scream your names
This is for the ones who didn’t make it
You were more than all the pills and pain
If you couldn’t climb out of that cage
We scream your names
We scream your names (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Shaking in the bathroom
Talking to the tiles and grout
Promising “I’ll quit this time”
While the darkness counted down
You were not the failure
You were caught inside a flood
Drowning in a raging storm
Calling from a mouth of mud
[Chorus]
This is for the ones who didn’t make it
We know that you were fighting every day
Every step was walking through the flames
We scream your names
We scream your names
This is for the ones who didn’t make it
You were more than all the pills and pain
If you couldn’t climb out of that cage
We scream your names
We scream your names
[Bridge]
I won’t call you selfish
I was there
I saw the war
Every bruise
Each shaking hand
I know what that hell was for
So if I beat this
I swear on my veins
I’ll carry your story
I’ll carry your name (yeah!)
[Chorus]
This is for the ones who didn’t make it
We know that you were fighting every day
Every step was walking through the flames
We scream your names
We scream your names
This is for the ones who didn’t make it
You were more than all the pills and pain
If you couldn’t climb out of that cage
We scream your names
We scream your names
