In leading up to the release of the album, Beau Bokan had hinted that the band had felt they hadn’t got the respect that they deserved. This song has edgy lyrics that address this topic. We see this predominantly when Bokan sings “Yeah I already know what you’ll say// You’re overrated, burned out an...
Please tell me somebody’s up there
And why I’m even singing at all
A crowded room that no one's in
Stealing all my oxygen
Holding on just to let it go
Every minute is a memory that
Your silence can be deafening
With every bond you break
You break me down
[Chorus]
So carve my name out
Look what it’s like to fall apart
So far away now
Already ruined from the start
You’re not forgiven
And I’m not giving up
Please tell me somebody’s out there
Yeah I already know what you’ll say
That you’re overrated
Burned out and faded
No one can save me now
You hold me up
Just to bring me down
Where no one can hear me screaming
So why can’t you hear me
I’m right where you left me
[Chorus]
So carve my name out
Look what it's like to fall apart
(Look what it's like)
So far away now
Already ruined from the start
You're not forgiven
And I'm not giving up
[Breakdown]
Are we ashes in the fire
Or will we rise above the flames?
[Chorus]
So carve my name out
Look what it's like to fall apart
So far away now
Already ruined from the start
[Outro Chorus]
So carve my name out
Look what it’s like to fall apart
So far away now
Already ruined from the start
You’re not forgiven
And I’m not giving up
That you're not the reason
That I'm not giving up
