Many Ways to Burn

[Verse 1]
You count the little differences
I used to tuck away
The laugh that jumps a beat too soon
The colors I won't trade
I bend the phrase, I change the pace
I take the strange route through
And every odd note in my name
Keeps sounding more like me

[Pre-Chorus]
No need to match the measured line
I find my pulse in my own time

[Chorus]
This is me, in every bright variation
Every turn, every unexpected turn
Raise it up, let the whole world hear it
We are many ways to burn
Not the same, and that's the celebration
Every voice with its own refrain
This is me, and I won't erase it
This is us, uncontained

[Verse 2]
You wear your colors unapologetic
I wear mine inside out
We meet where all the rhythms tangle
And make a chorus out
A hundred ways to hold a note
A hundred ways to begin
The parts they called too much before
Are where the joy gets in

[Bridge]
Let the pattern split and wander
Let the count refuse to stay
We can make a living language
From the things we do our way

[Final Chorus]
This is me, in every bright variation
Every turn, every unexpected turn
Raise it up, let the whole world hear it
We are many ways to burn
Not the same, and that's the celebration
Every voice with its own refrain
This is me, and I won't erase it
This is us, uncontained

[Outro]
This is us
Uncontained
