#Metal #AIMusic #BecomingMyself
[Verse 1]
I wore my scars like ink
Under a borrowed smile
Tried to fold myself small
Just to fit the room
I kept my hands in my pockets
Kept my truth in my jaw
But the mirror stayed kind
Even when I wasn't
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my chest is a drum
And it won't stay quiet
I hear my name in the dark
Like a match to my spine
[Chorus]
I feel myself
I feel myself
In my own skin
Like I finally fit
I feel myself
I feel myself
No, I won't shrink
For anybody's grin
[Verse 2]
You can keep your doubt
I made friends with the ache
Learned the shape of my voice
When it broke, then stayed
I was a closed fist
Now I'm spilling gold
From the cuts in my hands
To the edge of my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my chest is a drum
And it won't stay quiet
I hear my name in the dark
Like a match to my spine
[Chorus]
I feel myself
I feel myself
In my own skin
Like I finally fit
I feel myself
I feel myself
No, I won't shrink
For anybody's grin
[Bridge]
If I shake, let me shake
If I burn, let me glow
I don't need your permission
To be all I know
I was made from the hurt
And the hurt let go
Now I'm standing in the light
With my ribs exposed
[Final Chorus]
I feel myself
I feel myself
In my own skin
Like I finally fit
I feel myself
I feel myself
No, I won't shrink
For anybody's grin
I feel myself
I feel myself
At last I'm home
And I mean it this time
