Analysis of Is There A Name



I'm here on my knees
Asking to see
Someone for me
But there doesn't seem to be
They're all drug addicted
Self-absorbed
Drunk and over-sexed
Diamonds broken and wasted
I've yet to look
Into eyes and shook
Shivered and took
Another amazed look
Is there anyone who can be
With me for me
Looks aside I want a personality
Your eyes clear with purity
And you'd never question
The extent of my passion
Love without condition
Eternally on a mission
Exploring your perfection
Is there anyone out there just a little tame
God give me a sign, penned with her name
I don't care what I have to say, however lame
I'd give my heart and soul for that name
