Lyrics

Verse

They call my name in gold

But I don't know who they hold

In the glass, I see two faces

One says run, one stays frozen

My wrist keeps time for strangers

My mouth learned all their dangers

Every laugh comes pre-approved

Every "you" feels borrowed, bruised

Pre-chorus

I smile for the flash

Then I fade in the frame

If I say my real name

Would it still sound the same?

Chorus

Who am I tonight?

Who am I tonight?

Hold me in the light

Then let me off the line

Who am I tonight?

Who am I tonight?

I wear my own disguise

And it fits too tight

Verse

Backstage, the mirror lies

Makes my hunger look like pride

Got a crowd outside the door

I still feel hungry, still feel poor

I signed my life in glitter

Now the silence tastes bitter

Every win comes with a price

And I pay it twice, pay it twice

Pre-chorus

I smile for the flash

Then I fade in the frame

If I say my real name

Would it still sound the same?

Chorus

Who am I tonight?

Who am I tonight?

Hold me in the light

Then let me off the line

Who am I tonight?

Who am I tonight?

I wear my own disguise

And it fits too tight

Bridge

If I strip away the praise

Do you still see my face?

If the whole room goes dark

Will my pulse stay brave?

I been split down the middle

A crown and a riddle

Tell me what survives

When the noise dies

Chorus

Who am I tonight?

Who am I tonight?

Hold me in the light

Then let me off the line

Who am I tonight?

Who am I tonight?

I wear my own disguise

And it fits too tight

Outro

Take the name

Leave the skin

I can start again

I can start again
