lyrics

Will I complete the mystery of my flesh?
I will rise after a thousand years
And I will bleed with sober ease after death
And my eyes crafting a thousand tears

There are those who lay words in the grass
when I ask my name
Certain souls, certain eyes
Telling truths, telling lies
and my own anonymity
prevents me from knowing my name

What’s my name?
Tell me, what’s my name?
What’s my name?
Tell me, what’s my name?

Someday I’ll stand on solid land, looking out
Open eyes holding an honest world
But right now I stand so solemn and full of doubt
broken arms molding to any word.
There are those throwing words in the sky
claiming “we” as a remedy,
locking arms, free of shame
Both the nameless and named reaching out for identity
while I’m still just learning my name

What’s my name?
Tell me, what’s my name?
What’s my name?
Tell me, what’s my name?

I will wade out
‘til my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun into my mouth
and leap into the ripe air alive

I will wade out
‘til my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun into my mouth
and leap into the ripe air alive

I will wade out
‘til my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun into my mouth
and leap into the ripe air alive

What’s my name?

I will wade out
‘til my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun into my mouth
and leap into the ripe air alive

I will wade out
‘til my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun into my mouth
and leap into the ripe air alive

about

Michael Mayo image

Michael Mayo New York, New York

Michael Mayo approaches his voice as a musical instrument, but in often unexpected ways — with Brian Wilson-style pop harmonies, Stevie Wonder R&B, drum and bass, inspired by a line from poets, and even hip-hop. Even with his classical training, Mayo’s music is a seamless blend of alternative and neo-soul elements, a unique combination that defies genre. ... more
