Tell me my name
In a whisper or a word
So I may speak of the world
Through these lying lips
Yet giving nothing at all

Tell me my name
In a motion or a wave
So I may see the world
Through these hollow eyes
And bringing nothing at all

Tell me my name
In an emotion or a feel
So I may touch this world
Through these unspeaking hands
But wanting nothing at all

Tell me my name
In a tear or a laugh
So I may love my world
Through these heart’s fast beats
Without knowing nothing at all.
