Our names

Our names
Our parents endured so much to choose them
And thought so hard about us
Our names
Our parents endured so much to choose them
And thought so hard about us
But our names are just words
What is the point of words?
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
It is our eyes that really are our names
Our names
Our parents endured so much to choose them
And thought so hard about us
But our names are just words
What is the point of words?
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
It is our eyes that really are our names
Names are neither green nor almond-shaped
They are neither blue like the sea nor wintery
Names are neither green nor almond-shaped
They are neither navy blue like the sea nor wintery
Nor an old blue color that doesn't get old
Neither black, nor wide, nor hazel
Nor an old blue color that doesn't get old
Neither black, nor wide, nor hazel
Names don’t contain a home or wine
That might flow and hydrate us
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
It is our eyes that really are our names
Our names
Our parents endured so much to choose them
And thought so hard about us
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
It is our eyes that really are our names
It was snowing, paper was flying around, it was a sad evening
It was foggy among the arches, and we felt cold
It was snowing, paper was flying around, it was a sad evening
It was foggy among the arches, and we felt cold
We proceeded to gather the names of lovers
From forgotten books and old poems
We gathered the names of lovers
From forgotten books and old poems
We took these gathered names and set them on fire
Until they became ashes, and still we did not feel warm
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
It is our eyes that really are our names
Our names
Our parents endured so much to choose them
And thought so hard about us
Our names
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
Our names are words
What is the point of words?
It is our eyes that really are our names
