Who I Am (feat. Sahara Skye)
Written by Ciaran McMeeken / Montaigne / Sahara Skye
When the sun arises
Rub the dust from my eyes
I put on my disguise
Then I run to the wild
What a shame, my life is
I have wasted my time
Putting on these disguises
That are leaving me blind
I'm hiding away from the man that I am
I’m part of a plan that I don't understand
(Chorus)
Took the leap, but I lost my mind
Now I'm looking everywhere left and right
To find who I am
Who I am
Colour faded to black and white
Now I’m sick of being unsatisfied
Tell me who I am
Who I am
Wanna live but I’m dying
And I’m done with the climb
Oh these goddamn disguises
Are still keeping me blind
I'm hiding away from the man that I am
I’m part of a plan that I don't understand
(Repeat Chorus)
Out of my out of my mind
Who am I? Who am I?
(Repeat Chorus)
