Who The Hell Am I

[Verse 1]
Woke up, same room, strange face
Mirror lookin’ back like, “Change, wait”
Scrollin’ through a life that I half-made
Old pics, new pain, all cascade
Mama say I’m distant, I been offline
Still reply “I’m good” when I’m not fine
Friends think I’m solid, I just play tough
‘Cause I don’t know who I am and that’s messed up
[Chorus]
Who the hell am I?
I don’t even know this mind
Every day a brand-new lie
I just put that mask on tight
Who the hell am I?
Echo in an empty sky
If I disappear tonight
Would anybody even mind? (would you mind?)
[Verse 2]
Name on my phone that I barely recognize
Old me, callin’ back from a better time
Dreams that I had, now they feel hand-me-down
Like a jacket that don’t fit, so I wear a frown
Try to pray but my thoughts just talk back
Try to run, but I drag this old past
People say, “Find yourself,” like it’s real fast
I been lookin’ in the dark, where the hurt at
[Chorus]
Who the hell am I?
I don’t even know this mind
Every day a brand-new lie
I just put that mask on tight
Who the hell am I?
Echo in an empty sky
If I disappear tonight
Would anybody even mind? (tell me now)
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the break, not the breakthrough
Maybe I’m the scar, not the save-you
But I’m still here, breathin’ in the same room
Heart still hittin’ on the same boom
So if I’m lost, maybe that’s the first step
Map in the ash of the things that I regret
Name on the line and I’ll write it from scratch
Just me versus me in a head-on crash (yeah)
[Chorus]
Who the hell am I?
I don’t even know this mind
Every day a brand-new lie
I just put that mask on tight
Who the hell am I?
Echo in an empty sky
If I’m still here by sunrise
Maybe that’s the start this time (this time)
