name

What if I lost my name,
What if it flew away?
I would notice it's missing,
But I wonder, would they?
No reason to go
Is a good reason to stay
Or it's the other way around,
So they say
But I make promises to the mirror,
And it makes promises back
Is it the words through the cell phone
Or through mouths that I lack?
Is it easy to screw up,
Or am I just good at that?
Do you cry out for help
With your head under attack?
I remember the days
When I saw it all through
Before everyone burst
And nobody knew
Are their eyes still closed,
Or am I out of tune?
Do they see that I'm screaming,
Or should I point that out, too?
You can't tell yourself
To stop bleeding
It stays with you like a song
I wonder how to keep breathing
I wonder what it's like to belong
