Lyrics:

I wake up late, its Reaping Day
Head to the forest to meet Gale
Its a lottery, I hope they don't choose me
What would my family do if i disappeared ?

In the square,
Effie reads off her name
I nearly collapse before I scream

Oh Prim, I'll never let you go
Oh Prim I'll never let you go
Take me to the arena, just leave her alone
Oh Prim I'll never let you go

Beyond the train, they all seem so vain
I bite my tongue until it bleeds
Stuck in between ,I dream of the seam
At least my sister is safe at home

Cinna waves goodbye
As slowly I ascend
Waiting for the gong,
I whisper to myself

Oh Prim, I'll never let you go
Oh Prim I'll never let you go
Take me to the arena, just leave her alone
Oh Prim I'll never let you go

ALEX! You said you were going to use the footage from the PA show for your video! I feel betrayed! (But I love you anyway)

[myxgiftxisxmyxsong]

@TheLaurlyn He said that to us in Ann Arbor, too! I can't remember if it was this song or not, though.

[AlexanderCarpenter]

@myxgiftxisxmyxsong it was not. it was for another song, which will be up in a while

[AlexanderCarpenter]

@TheLaurlyn the performance at that show ended up being terrible, and i only got 2 other angles from people. so it wasnt really enough to make up a good video. luke offered to film it again in ames, so I took him up on it, and the result is this sweet video on a sweet camera :)

How can you smile while you sing that ? Every time I hear the line"I`ll go to the arena, just leave her alone. " I tear up . Great song tho ! DFTBA

[HarryEverdeen98]

I dont like it. Its to direct. Like the tracks called...Songs from District 12 and beyond. Not Katniss and her band.

The lyrics "Oh Prim I'll never let you go!" ah this song makes me sad.D:
