My name is mud
And you cannot drag me through it
Cause I'm the chosen conduit for my time
My name is love
And I hear you sing it gently
In the letters that you sent me
Where all the O's were made with hearts
My name is hate
And I'm probably an acquired taste
And I'm hanging in this human race for the duration
My name is silence
And I no longer hear you say it
And the absence can't be overstated in my mind
My name is loud
And I'm screaming at the top of my voice
And I'm making so much damn noise
That the neighborhood complains
My name is Maude
And I'm breaking open your window
I'm breaking into your home
Cause it's all that I ever have known
It's all that I ever have known
My name is Maude
I am steadfast, I am angry
And I no longer need you to save me
But I'd like to have your baby
You don't even have to stick around
But I'd appreciate it if we got down
And we got down
I'm dreaming of you standing in my bedroom
Wearing socks that I knit you
You're calling out my name
You're calling out my name
But you can't see me
No, you won't see me
