Lyrics Silverstein – On Brave Mountains We Conquer

My name is anything that I want it to be
I’m striking chords in a way you’ve never seen
But I’m a longshot, we fought the fight at last
I can take it, I will make it now

I’ve given everything, I’ve let you take over me
I’m climbing mountains but drowning in the sea
And I admit it, I don’t regret it
You’ve taken everything and left these broken wings
So here I lay

I never thought you would leave me here
A jaded mess full of hate and fear
I’d play the victim but I only have myself to blame
I’ll rename, restart this game

My name is anything that you want it to be
Your games are endless but I can guarantee
You’ll be the last one to ever give this up
I’ll take it all away until I get my day
But here I lay

I never thought you would leave me here
A jaded mess full of hate and fear
I’d play the victim but I only have myself to blame
I’ll rename, restart this game

I’m giving up this time
I can’t take anymore of these confines
I’ve become something I’m not
A person who plays it safe, everything I hate

So here I’ll lay, you finally got your way

I never thought you would leave me here
A jaded mess full of hate and fear
I’d play the victim I still only have myself to blame

My name I will not say, you have never heard of me
It keeps reminding me what I’ll never be
