My Name [Rock] - Rumpled Blanket

〈Verse 1〉
I pulled of my bottle
As a vermilion sunset beckoned me
Life coursed through my dreams
The cliffs were steps and I walked down and away

〈Chorus〉
I love you, I love me
If there's no more you
There's lets more me

〈Verse 2〉
And years of living, loving me
And sunsets all my own
The rumpled blanket of my memory
Is draped over a big fish bowl

〈Chorus〉
I can swim, I can bend
And I don't panic when
I'm hemmed in

I've seen stars, I've lived large
And living small
Is not that hard for me, in fact
〈Verse 3〉
It's easy to reduce myself
I just stand next to mountains or trees
And I feel good and tiny

〈Verse 4〉
Stars have been known to fall from the sky on occasions
Such as tonight
Treading water in my fish bowl
I look to the sky as I wait for searchlights

Yeah, I'm in a dream
And it's going to have a happy ending
Oh yeah, I'm in a dream
And I'm insisting on a happy ending

Living through the worst living
Somehow seems to cut me slack
I can still look at the world
If I am laid out on my back

〈Chorus〉
I love me, I love you
And if we get a dog
I'll love it too
If you leave, I will grieve
But in the end
There's always me

〈Outro〉
And hopefully the dog

Tacoma-based My Name took hardcore-tinged pop-punk an extra step with their intelligent lyrics, complex drum arrangements and melodic vocal hooks. In 1992, they released their debut album, Megacrush, on Seattle label, C/Z Records. Megacrush won some critical acclaim and helped build their name in the Northwest. Soon after its release, the band gained spots on tours with All and Bad Religion, which helped build a national following for the band. In 1993, they released their second album, Wet Hills and Big Wheels. By this time they had opened for a whole crop of successful bands, including Soundgarden, Primus and Jesus Lizard. In 1996, the band followed up with their third album, Rocks for the Jocks, on Instant Records.
