Mirror Split (Who Am I Now?)

Drum and bass, high-strung and menacing with hyperactive breakbeats, reese bass surges, tense synth stabs, and a shadowy four-part arc: verse rides clipped low-end pressure; pre-chorus strips to bare drums and a rising pulse; chorus hits with doubled vocal hooks and jagged bass hits; bridge drops to half-time tension before a final frantic lift, Close-mic lead vocal with stacked doubles, frantic ad-libs, delay throws on key words, reversed swells into each drop, vinyl grit and sharp sidechain pump, dark and glossy mix, poetic, drum and bass

[Verse 1] I woke up wearing my own skin Like it was borrowed Like it was left at the station On a chair with my name crossed out My hands said "mine" But they felt like strangers I checked the glass for a face I knew It gave me back a fracture A grin in the wrong place A pulse that lied A voice that split On the edges of my mouth [Pre-Chorus] Who am I now? Say it slow It keeps slipping Through my throat Who am I now? Don't let go I'm a house With a locked-up door [Chorus] Mirror split, mirror split Who is in my skin? Mirror split, mirror split I keep letting it in Tell me my name Tell me my name I wear it thin Mirror split, mirror split I'm two ghosts in one frame [Verse 2] There are days I move like a rumor In my own hallway Like a bad omen Passing through family pictures I laugh too loud Then hate the sound And every mirror in the city Has that same cold mouth Saying "pick one" Saying "prove it" But I am not a verdict I am not a cut I am the wound and the hand [Pre-Chorus] Who am I now? Say it slow It keeps slipping Through my throat Who am I now? Don't let go I'm a house With a locked-up door [Chorus] Mirror split, mirror split Who is in my skin? Mirror split, mirror split I keep letting it in Tell me my name Tell me my name I wear it thin Mirror split, mirror split I'm two ghosts in one frame [Bridge] If I tear one face away What waits underneath? If I keep the mask on long enough Will it start to breathe? I made a home Out of alarms I made a prayer Out of cracked alarms [Breakdown] Say my name Say my name Not the one they made Say my name Say my name Let the false one fade [Final Chorus] Mirror split, mirror split Who is in my skin? Mirror split, mirror split I keep letting it in Tell me my name Tell me my name I wear it thin Mirror split, mirror split I'm two ghosts in one frame Mirror split, mirror split I am not the wound Mirror split, mirror split I am what it moved through
