If I had a name I would keep it to myself If I had a face you wouldn't know me as well If I was a person you would love me but its worse than not existing if i'm just living for the essence of what you look for in the present I'm no futuristic lesson I've got no story to tell. If I had a story I would take out all the bits about the pain Unless the sorrow builds up glory then I would tell it until the world gave me a name. But it's worse than not existing. I wan't to be known despite myself. Is there anybody listening? If not, I guess I'm better off without... Don't stay awake, I function like a machine That I better understand without anybody hearing Don't try read, it's just a song that i sing break my enigma, now I know what I mean. Is anybody looking through the Is anybody looking through the Is anybody looking through the fame? Is anybody tending to the Is anybody tending to the Is anybody tending to the flame?
