Joseph Pennell - Your Name

What were the words you said
The one that stuck in your head, Was it "No?"
What were the things you read
Pages of the ancient dead, Were they cold?

The solace was place I stole
The guilt was the rent you owed, To my goals
The warrant was in my hands
Safe with a promise stranded below, A wrong turn home

Where are the photographs
The gifts you made I gave back, Are they gone?
A television program
A fable without a plan, We turned on

And love was a day that was
And fate was a blade that shot, through your heart
A trial without a judge
And no one to build a crutch
For your arm
And you fell, so hard

Cause I don't know your face anymore
Or where from it came
Its been two years to the day
Since I have tasted pride in my name
And yes I know its such a waste
To have ended up this way
But if you could see past yesterday
Maybe we'd walk again someday
Cause I still know your name

Where was the tension held
Locked away in the kiln to harden
A sudden explosion
The bullets were blames cousin, betrayal

Words were thrown carelessly
Across a burning sea's safe route home
And rage would eventually take over honesty
Like poison, and I knew it was wrong

Cause I don't know your face anymore
Or where from it came
Its been two years to the day
Since I have tasted pride in my name
And yes I know its such a waste
To have ended up this way
But if you could see past yesterday
Maybe we'd walk again someday
Cause I still know your name
