No Name
Suicidal Tendencies Lyrics

Close my eyes, yet I still see
Despite shutting my eyes, I am unable to escape my inner turmoil and conflicts that haunt me.

I can not hide from what's inside of me
I am unable to conceal the emotions and thoughts that dwell within me.

I hear my thoughts, but they're not clear
Although I can hear my own thoughts, they are not coherent and rational.

And now I tremble with fear
These inner struggles have caused me to become afraid and anxious.

No one can tell me what's sane
I am the only one who knows the true extent of my own sanity.

You see the tears I cry
Although you can witness my crying, you are not able to truly comprehend my emotional pain.

But you can't feel my pain
Despite my tears, my emotional pain is not something that you can physically feel.

No title can classify me
I am not simply a 'title' or a label; I am a complex person with layered emotions.

I'm a person with feelings
I am an individual with a range of emotions.

A number I refuse to be
I refuse to be reduced to a mere 'number' or statistic.

Don't try to live my life
Others cannot dictate or live my life for me.

You cannot talk for me
Others cannot speak on my behalf without truly understanding my experiences.

Now I'm on the brink, brink of insanity
I am currently teetering on the edge of losing my sanity.

Sometimes I stare into space
At times, I lose myself in thought and become detached from reality.

I try to think about another place
In these moments, I attempt to escape my own reality and envision myself somewhere else.

Where happiness I'll see
This alternate place I imagine will hopefully bring me happiness.

I'll find a place for me and find some sanity
I hope to find a place where I can belong and regain some sense of sanity.

Sometimes I look at you
Occasionally, I observe others around me.

And I wonder what will I do
In these instances, I ponder what my actions or reactions will be.

Will my mind stay intact
I worry that my own mind will remain functional and sound.

How will I react, will I do any harm to you
I am unsure of how I will handle situations and whether or not I will cause harm to others.

Open my eyes, but I can't see
Although my eyes are open, I am unable to see past my own internal struggles.

Maybe the hatred has blinded me
Perhaps my hatred and anger has caused me to become blinded and lose sight of reality.

There's not a sound, yet I still hear
Even in complete silence, I can still hear the pains and voices within myself.

Now the pain is so clear
The pain and struggles I am experiencing have become increasingly evident to me.

Sometimes I stop to think
At times, I take a moment to pause and contemplate.

Or maybe my thinking just stops
However, sometimes my thinking comes to a complete halt.

Doesn't matter anyway
Regardless, it does not matter in the grand scheme of things.

No one hears what I say, I'm on the brink of insanity
No one seems to truly listen or understand my words, and I feel myself slipping closer to insanity.

Well I know him but not his name
I am familiar with this person, but I do not know their true identity.

In everyone, yet not the same
This person exists in everyone, yet they are unique and different.

Play with the cards I'm dealt, worse I never felt
I am trying to make the best of my situation and remain positive, despite the hardships I am facing.

I'm playing a sick man's game
I am caught up in a twisted and unhealthy cycle or situation.
