Calling Your Name Lyrics

His gaze left a scar on

The back of my eyelids, I can't

Sleep when I'm awake, guess I'll

Sleep when I'm dying, I wanted

To be a mother one day

But not when I have to obey

Child your eyes remind of

His dark, determined, deathly

What did he

What did he want from me

To break me and just walk away free

I'm washing

Washing him off my skin

I'm undoing the war against women

Lay, lay down

Your power and your praise

Say, say now

The things you couldn't say

There's no sacrifice greater than your mothers pain

Hey child

Can you hear

She's still

Calling your name

Calling your name

Calling your name

Hush don't you cry my darling

We can live through all our mistakes

They said I brought it on myself

I had no one else left to blame

I wanted to be free to

Exercise my autonomy

But we live in a world where

Guns have more rights than bodies

What did he

What did he want from me

To break me and just walk away free

I'm washing

Washing him off my skin

I'm undoing the war against women

Lay, lay down

Your power and your praise

Say, say now

The things you couldn't say

There's no sacrifice greater than your mothers pain

Hey child

Can you hear

She's still

Calling your name

Calling your name

Calling your name

He tried to

Tried to break me

He dared to

Dared to forsake me

He tried to

Tried to break me

He dared to

Dared to forsake me

Lay down

Your power and your praise

Say, say now

The things you couldn't say

There's no sacrifice greater than your mothers pain

Hey child

Can you hear

She's still

Calling your name

Calling your name

Calling your name

Calling your name
