"What's the use of their having names," the Gnat said, "if they won't answer to them?" "No use to them," said Alice; "but it's useful to the people that name them, I suppose. If not, why do things have names at all?"

I'm tired of empty promises
tired of false smiles
I need to break free
need to make this distance miles

because my ribcage is paper thin
and your words break right through
breaking my heart to pieces
and your apologies are way past due

Your home isn't where your heart is
thats something you'll always lack
But I've packed all my bags
I'm leaving today,and never looking back.
