My Real Name Songtext
von Mike Redfields

They watch the surface smooth and deep
The secrets that my features keep
A careful posture held so tight
A story told in early sun
Their gaze just skims the outer shell
Never asking what′s inside the well

I push away the hands I crave
A quiet current I behaved
This heavy weight beneath my skin
Wondering where to begin


Do you see me?
Truly see me?
Past the picture
Can you feel me?
Is there more than what you claim?
Just whisper my real name
My real name
My real name
My real name
My real name

I build a wall of careful talk
On quiet corners watch them walk
But underneath a tremor starts
A hidden landscape of my parts
The way my breath is held so low
The fragile things I rarely show

I push away the hands I crave
A quiet current I behaved
This heavy weight beneath my skin
Wondering where to begin


Do you see me?
Truly see me?
Past the picture
Can you feel me?
Is there more than what you claim?
Just whisper my real name
My real name
My real name
My real name
My real name

I feel the showing yet I crave
A depth no simple picture gave
This contradiction tight and deep
The promises my heart can't keep
Will you unravel what you find?
Or leave this truth behind?

Do you see me?
Truly see me?
Past the picture
Can you feel me?
Is there more than what you claim?
Just whisper my real name
My real name
My real name
My real name
My real name
