Analysis of No Name
Out of the clouded corners of my dark eye
I see the guilt tripped in your face
You swallowed me down and smiled with envy
Like the bloodshot eyes of a killer in atrophy
I tasted of too many dark nights alone in his shadow
I am what I am thats what I shall be
Being that I am what you want from me
Seperate chambers rooms in my heart
The colors intertwined with red
The words I've waisted, claim them back to tread
I see your eyes, they shine like you somehow
And I've lived my life down to reach your call
Tell me your words, give me wisdom, lend me your ear
I'll tell of great atrocities and speak what I can't hear
But I have tried to little, or maybe too late or not at all enough
Yet I hide in my maze wishing to seclude my face
Watch the years wave goodbye, falling down
Frustrate my soul you wretched frown
My love begs to be for me waining
My sorry feet, running dead end to themselves
Cover up your ears, cry to sleep myself
And only you can hear and see these empty shelves
Do not allow me to travel the mysteries of burning starts
Protect my scarred feet, my swollen heart
These stones are crumbled, particles hiding a foul scent
Clothe my soul and lay upon the dirt your warm guiding hands
Please give me the love to forget the world's demands
