Overview
Prior to finishing the mixing stage, the song went by the name, "My Mystery". It was previewed as such in the pre-release YouTube teaser EWBAITE 11 "My Mystery". This early version of the song was leaked online in December 2017. According to fans who attended listening parties prior to the release of the album, the song was indeed originally titled "Anonymous", and began as a "sprawling" 6-minute "epic" before being truncated into something that barely resembled the original version. At some point, the song's chorus was re-appropriated for a new song titled "Up in the Clouds".
Personnel

Album lyrics
I don't even know your name
No, I don't know the words to say
So I call you Anonymous
I don't even know your name
No, I don't know the words to say
So I call you Anonymous
Anonymous
So I look at my life
Look at my friends
Look in the eyes of my enemy
It's all just a gift that I'm going to give to you
I don't even know your name
No, I don't know the words to say
So I call you Anonymous
I don't even know your name
No, I don't know the words to say
So I call you Anonymous
My Anonymous, my anonymous
My Anonymous, my anonymous
Now I know, know what to call you
Now I know, know what to call you
Now I know, know what to call you
Now I know, know what to call you
What to call you
What to call you
What to call you
Earlier lyrics, date unknown
[...] I don't want to call you Jesus
I don't want to call you Buddha
I don't want to call you Muhammad
I don't even know your name
No, I don't know the words to say
So I'll call you Anonymous [...]
Ecce Homo Version
I approach you most humbly
But I don’t know what to call you
“Jesus” is wrong
“Buddha” is weird
“God” is funny
And science is cold
I don’t want to call you “You”
I don’t want to call you “Sir”
I don’t want to call you male
I don’t want to call you female
I don’t want to believe
I don’t want to say I believe
No, no, no, no
But when I was up on my cross
You were there with me, you were there with me
I’m just not big enough, I'm just not big enough
To satisfy myself, to satisfy myself
There’s so much more out there
And I want to feel it
I want it to move through me
I want it to use me, abuse me
I’m humbled before you
So please, use me like your bitch
I struggled for so long thinking I could solve problems
But I’m just another moron
I can’t do shit
There’s nothing can break the laws of nature
But the laws of nature break themselves
Anything is possible
I don’t believe in miracles
Everything’s a miracle
