Verse
Clock ticks, another minute just slips away
I’m curated, calculated, everything I say
Is filtered through a lens of what I think is right
Keeping every single spark buried out of sight.
I’m bound by the "shoulds" and the "musts" in my head
Living out the scripts of the things I never said.
Logic is a prison, and I’m holding the key
But I’m terrified of what happens when I set it free.
See, I’m tangled in the wires of a moral code
Carrying the pressure till I’m ready to explode.
I just want to reach out, keep it simple, keep it real
But I’m paralyzed by the weight of how I actually feel.
Pre-Chorus
It’s a knot in my throat,
it’s a fire in the dark
One breath away from igniting the spark.
The silence is screaming,
the walls are all thin
I can’t keep the ocean from rushing back in.
Chorus
I’m breaking the seal!
Revealing the parts that I tried to conceal!
The pressure is lifting,
the ghost is let go
I’m screaming the truths that I feared you would know!
I don't need an answer,
I don't need a sign
I just need to know that this heart isn't mine!
It’s out in the open!
It’s finally out!
I’m trading the silence for something to shout!
Verse
Yeah, I’ve been dreaming of a moment where the world just stops
Where the armor hits the floor and the curtain finally drops.
No expectations, no "where do we go from here?"
Just a slow embrace that dissolves every fear.
I’ve been playing it safe, playing the "friend" role well
While I’m burning up inside this self-constructed shell.
But the air feels different since I spoke your name
The internal conflict doesn't feel the same.
It’s not about the chase,
it’s not about the win
It’s about the honesty
underneath my skin.
Chorus
I’m breaking the seal!
Revealing the parts that I tried to conceal!
The pressure is lifting,
the ghost is let go
I’m screaming the truths that I feared you would know!
I don't need an answer,
I don't need a sign
I just need to know that this heart isn't mine!
It’s out in the open!
It’s finally out!
I’m trading the silence for something to shout!
Bridge
We’re an astral alignment
in a fractured sky
Unspoken communication,
no need to lie.
The stars are shifting,
the orbit is true
Everything I am is gravitating to you.
I’M PULLING THROUGH!
IT’S FINALLY YOU!
Final Chorus
I’m breaking the seal!
Revealing the parts that I tried to conceal!
the pressure is lifting,
the ghost is let go
I’m screaming the truths that I feared you would know!
Outro
The weight is gone. I’m breathing now.
No more masks. No more "how?"
Just...
...
...
Just this.
Finally
