Mockingjay (Original Song)

I'll post the video soon, but for now, here are the words...


There's a list of names in my head
that will never leave me
And nameless hordes of the dead
walk along behind me

The odds haven't been in my favor
since the day they called her name
And two arenas later
I'm still a player in their Games

Oh, what have they done?
What have they done to us?
What have I done to you,
done to myself?
There's no turning back.
I cannot run from this.
The whole world's on fire now.
This is what I've become -
your Mockingjay.

When I see what they've done to you
I choke on my screams
There's no one to rescue you
from the nightmares that are not dreams.

They want me to put on the suit
and be a pawn in their war.
My arrow is ready to shoot -
but what target should I aim for?

What have they done?
What have they done to us?
What have I done to you,
done to myself?
There's no turning back.
I cannot run from this.
The whole world's on fire now.
This is what I've become -
your Mockingjay.


What have they done to us?
I wish I could run from this.

Why is it I'm always too late
to save the ones I love?
