Persona

[Intro] [Verse 1] I gave him a name I gave him a face Somewhere to hide Somewhere to say All of the things I swallowed before Funny how a mask Can open a door I let him be louder Let him be strange Let him say everything I wouldn't explain Then somebody listened And called him by my name [Pre-Chorus] I made him to hide me I made him to speak But every word I gave him Sounded more like me So tell me— [Chorus] Who's the persona? Who's playing who? Was I becoming him Or was he becoming me too? [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I took off the alias Put up my name Expected the feeling To somehow change Same little melodies Same little scars Same midnight questions Just different avatars Maybe the distance Was all that I needed To say something honest Before I believed it I borrowed a voice To find my own And now I can't tell Which one brought me home [Pre-Chorus] I made him to hide me I made him to speak But somewhere in the middle He started wearing me So tell me— [Chorus] Who's the persona? Who's playing who? Was I becoming him Or was he becoming me too? [Instrumental] [Bridge] Maybe there's no other Maybe there's no two Maybe every version Was always something true The quiet one The strange one The name The machine Maybe I'm not somewhere Hidden in between Maybe I'm all of them [Build] [Final Chorus] Who's the persona? Who's playing who? Maybe I was asking Like I had to choose Who's the persona? Which one is true? Maybe there's a little me Inside them all [Final Instrumental] [Breakdown] I made a persona So I wouldn't have to hide Funny— He looked more like me Than I did [Outro]
