Nothing Left to Hide

[Intro: 7/8, warm synths, bouncing bass]
(Bmm-ka-tss, bmm-bmm-tss)
(Ooh, ah-ah, here I am!)
[Glitched vocal echoes]

[Verse 1: Playful, syncopated]
I used to edit every sentence
Before it left my mouth
Paint my colors into grayscale
When the wrong crowd came around
Now I laugh a little louder
At the things I can't explain
Every strange and crooked corner
Has a place inside my name

[Pre-Chorus: 5/4, rising falsetto]
No more rehearsing my reflection
No more asking who to be
(I can breathe, I can breathe!)

[Chorus: Soaring, layered harmonies]
I'm comfortable inside my skin!
With all the mess and magic in it!
I don't have to win the room
To know that I belong within it!
Let them love me, let them leave
I won't dim another light
For the first time in forever
Being me just feels so right!

[Break: IDM glitch, phonk chops, bass solo]
(Boom-ka-tss, tika-tika-boom)
(Me-me-me, just me!)
[Polyrhythmic bass counterpoint]

[Verse 2: Warm, melodic]
Some days confidence is quiet
Like a shirt that fits just right
A joke that only I find funny
And a peaceful Friday night
I can own the things I've broken
Without living in regret
I'm a work that's never finished
Not a debt I have to pay

[Bridge: Half-time, intimate to explosive]
(Too much?) Maybe sometimes
(Too strange?) In someone's eyes
But I'd rather be a little weird
Than live a borrowed life!

[Final Chorus: Key lift, euphoric harmonies]
I'M COMFORTABLE INSIDE MY SKIN!
Every scar and contradiction!
I can grow without erasing
Every beautiful distinction!
I don't need a perfect answer
Or permission to begin
There's a freedom in accepting
Every person that I've been!

[Outro: 7/8, fading vocal chops]
(Here I am, here I am!)
(Bmm-tss-ka, bmm-tss-ka)
[Warm major ninth resolution]
