I Don't Know Who I Am Lyrics

Sometimes I think it's strange I'll never see you
Then I realise
I've been watching you my whole life
In every look I don't recognise
Every feature in my face with no relation
From my mother's side shows where we came from

I was looking so hard I missed the sign that
I'd been waiting for
An obituary wrote in a local paper
From a town that is no more
Carrying this around gains nothing
But I'm fool enough to care
Brave enough to try
I'll try it
You know I'll try it
I tried it

Are you a raw nerve like I am
Or are you more likе the bathrooms in the park?
"Closed for the season", every season
Seen in the lighter's spark
The moment that the world began it's ending
Captured by chance on a field recording
We caught it
It's not important
You wouldn't love me
Keep out of my way, I'm not in your way
You wouldn't love me
Descend a marble staircase
Slap me in my face
I don't know who I am

There's a telegraph pole reminds me of you
It's shadow against the sky
Buzzing in the night but no one gets through
No longer on the line
Messages unheard are staying that way
Bouncing back like echoes in the valley
In the valley
In the valley

You wouldn't love me
Keep out of my way, I'm not in your way
You wouldn't love me
Descend a marble staircase
Slap me in my face
I don't know who I am
