[Verse 1] I wake with a mouthful of borrowed names One of me counts the cracks in the ceiling One rides west on a freight-line train One keeps smiling through the meeting [Pre-Chorus] I can trace each life by the mark it left But none of them answers when I ask [Chorus] Which one is the face I’m meant to keep? Which one is the voice beneath the others? Maybe I’m the sum of every fracture Maybe I’m condemned to split forever [Verse 2] There’s a hand that signs where I should sign A stranger’s laugh caught in my throat I see my eyes in a shopfront glass And every version looks alone [Pre-Chorus] If I could choose, would I still be whole? Or is the wound the shape of my soul? [Chorus] Which one is the face I’m meant to keep? Which one is the voice beneath the others? Maybe I’m the sum of every fracture Maybe I’m condemned to split forever [Bridge] No single thread can pull me free No one life can hold the whole of me I gather what I can’t erase And let them speak from the same place [Final Chorus] I am every face I couldn’t keep I am every voice beneath the others Not one life can name me or contain me Still I carry all these selves together [Outro] All these selves together
