Your Name In Every Song

**(Hook)** I put your name in every song, every melody I make, Every line about the pain, every memory I replay, If the world forgets your story, I won't ever let it fade, I'll keep screaming out your name until they know it from the grave. I put your name in every song, hear you underneath the bass, Every 808 is shaking like the heartbeat that I can't replace, I can't bring you back to life, but I can give your memory space, So I turn the pain into a record and I let that shit escape. **(Verse 1)** I been translating devastation into syllables and sound, Taking everything that broke me, rearranging it around, Every sentence has a memory, every melody's a wound, Every time I hit record, it's like I'm bringing you back through. I can feel you in the frequencies, the harmonies and reverbs, Hear your voice inside the silence underneath these fucking verses, I don't need a physical memorial to prove that you existed, I can build one out of music every time somebody listens. Every rhyme becomes a photograph, every chorus is a candle, Every verse becomes a conversation that I never got to handle, I keep stacking up these memories until the track is packed, Trying to make the music loud enough to bring my brother back. But I know that isn't possible, and that's the hardest truth, No amount of fucking records can restore what death removed, So I don't write because I think these songs can somehow resurrect you, I write because the only way I know to keep you here is through it. **(Hook)** I put your name in every song, every melody I make, Every line about the pain, every memory I replay, If the world forgets your story, I won't ever let it fade, I'll keep screaming out your name until they know it from the grave. I put your name in every song, hear you underneath the bass, Every 808 is shaking like the heartbeat that I can't replace, I can't bring you back to life, but I can give your memory space, So I turn the pain into a record and I let that shit escape. **(Verse 2)** I got pages full of pain that I was scared to ever mention, Now I'm making every secret into something with dimension, Turning grief into a rhythm, turning sorrow into sections, Taking everything I lost and giving all of it expression. You were there before the music, before anybody knew my name, Before the studio sessions, before I ever chased the fame, So whenever I accomplish something, you're attached to that achievement, 'Cause the person that I am today was shaped by what we've been through. I wish you could hear the finished versions, hear the fucking crowd, Hear the speakers shake the room when they scream your name out loud, I wish you could stand beside me while I'm watching people sing it, Knowing that a piece of you is living every time they hear it. So I won't let the silence win, I won't let the memory disappear, I'll keep turning all this heartbreak into something people hear, And if somebody asks me why I keep returning to the pain, I'll tell them I'm not chasing sadness, I'm preserving your name. **(Bridge)** Your name in every song, Your memory in every line, Your voice inside the melody, Your heartbeat inside mine. If I can't hold you in my arms, I'll hold you in these words, If I can't talk to you again, I'll let the whole world hear you first. **(Final Hook)** I put your name in every song, every melody I make, Every line about the pain, every memory I replay, If the world forgets your story, I won't ever let it fade, I'll keep screaming out your name until they know it from the grave. I put your name in every song, hear you underneath the bass, Every 808 is shaking like the heartbeat that I can't replace, I can't bring you back to life, but I can give your memory space, So I turn the pain into a record and I let that shit escape. Your name in every song, Your name inside my heart, You may be gone from this world, But you'll never be gone from my art.
