[ Intro] WAKE THE FUCK UP!...... STOP LOOKING INTO SOMEONE ELSES MIRROR........ THIS SONG IS ABOUT THAT!.........COME WITH ME............ [Verse 1] I wore my old name like a coat Too tight in the throat Too long on my back I smiled for the room Then left all my bones Hidden under that act I chased every mirror For someone to see What I kept in the dark But the cracks in the glass Kept speaking to me Like a map to my heart [Pre-Chorus] Then the floor gave way And the mask slipped off I heard my own breath For the very first time And it shook me soft [Chorus] I know who I am I know who I am At last, at last I know who I am No more borrowed skin No more standing still I burn, I bend I know who I am [Verse 2] I kept my name small Kept my wants locked up Like a room with no key But the thunder inside Had been waiting for years Just to break me free Now the scars on my hands Look less like damage More like proof I survived Every door that I slammed Was a door I had To walk through alive [Pre-Chorus] Then the floor gave way And the mask slipped off I heard my own breath For the very first time And it shook me soft [Chorus] I know who I am I know who I am At last, at last I know who I am No more borrowed skin No more standing still I burn, I bend I know who I am [Bridge] And if I was lost I was learning the shape Of the man I became From the ashes and rain From the ache Now every old fear Can stand in the light I won't run from my name I won't hide from my life Not tonight [Final Chorus] I know who I am I know who I am At last, at last I know who I am No more borrowed skin No more standing still I burn, I bend I know who I am I know who I am I know who I am For the first time I know who I am [Outro] ARE YOU AWAKE YET? CAUSE TONIGHT...... I KNOW EXACTLY WHO I AM........ AND IF YOU WERE LISTENING....... SO SHOULD YOU..........
