[Verse 1] I woke up in the copy room With my face on every page A stack of days in plastic sleeves And a name I couldn't save I asked the window what it knew It gave me back my shape Then all my future turned to static When I said, what am I? [Pre-Chorus] Tell me if I'm real Or just a left-behind line Tell me if I'm here Or only passing time [Chorus] What am I? What am I? I keep asking the dark What am I? What am I? Even when it's torn apart Tell me, tell me Who am I tonight? [Verse 2] My shadow lags a second late Like it learned to hesitate I tried to hold a perfect thought It melted in the tape The mirror keeps a borrowed grin The kind that never stays And every room I step inside Feels like it lost my face [Pre-Chorus] Tell me if I'm real Or just a left-behind line Tell me if I'm here Or only passing time [Chorus] What am I? What am I? I keep asking the dark What am I? What am I? Even when it's torn apart Tell me, tell me Who am I tonight? [Bridge] [Filtered, distant] If I disappear Would the hours change? If I call my name Would it sound the same? I found a hole in the morning light I tried to crawl through But it held me tight [Chorus] What am I? What am I? I keep asking the dark What am I? What am I? Even when it's torn apart Tell me, tell me Who am I tonight?
