You lay the pages in a row.
You ask for all the names I know.
The old disguise has come undone.
You think the silence means you've won.
You draw a line and watch my face.
I let my words fall into place.
I was the one who chose to act.
No threat will make me take that back.
You hear a name. I see a face.
A life your pen could soon erase.
I know the price. I know the fear.
Your list of names is ending here.
My name is all you need.
Let them be free.
I made the choice. I bear the blame.
Their names stay safe with me.
My name is all you need.
Take mine alone.
You have my words. You have my name.
Their lives are not your own.
You want a door, a street, a key.
Another life to find through me.
I hear the steps beyond the wall.
One name could let you take them all.
I will not give you one more thread
To bind the living to the dead.
You have my name. The rest is mine.
And that is where I draw the line.
You hear a name. I see a face.
A life your pen could soon erase.
I know the price. I know the fear.
Your list of names is ending here.
My name is all you need.
Let them be free.
I made the choice. I bear the blame.
Their names stay safe with me.
My name is all you need.
Take mine alone.
You have my words. You have my name.
Their lives are not your own.
I want the years I thought we'd share.
I want to breathe unguarded air.
I am afraid. I want to live.
Their names are not for me to give.
My name is all you need.
Let them be free.
I made the choice. I bear the blame.
Their names stay safe with me.
My name is all you need.
Take mine alone.
You have my words. You have my name.
Their lives are not your own.
My name is written. Let it stay.
The rest you will not take away.
