[Verse 1]
I used to walk like I knew the way
Blind to the cracks underneath my name
Ignorant
Reckless
A little afraid
Carrying armor made of yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
All the glory I kept shining
Paper crown that kept me hiding
Every praise became a prison
Echoes loud
But I won’t listen
[Chorus]
Take this armor
Let it fall
I don’t need to feel ten feet tall
Every scar I tried to hide
Looks like proof that I survived
Strip me down to skin and bone
If I’m honest
I’m not alone
In the ruins of my pride
I stay
Breaking out of armor made of yesterday
[Verse 2]
I used to fake every steady step
Smile on my face
But my lungs were wrecked
Chasing approval like borrowed air
Running in circles
Going nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
All the glory I kept shining
Turned my worth into a diamond
Too hard
Too cold for my own hands
Now I’m soft enough to stand
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Let the shine fade
Let the dust rise
I’m still here with my open eyes
If the past calls
Let it ring
Let it ring
I’ve got room now to feel everything
[Chorus]
I used to walk like I knew the way
Blind to the cracks underneath my name
Ignorant
Reckless
A little afraid
Carrying armor made of yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
All the glory I kept shining
Paper crown that kept me hiding
Every praise became a prison
Echoes loud
But I won’t listen
[Chorus]
Take this armor
Let it fall
I don’t need to feel ten feet tall
Every scar I tried to hide
Looks like proof that I survived
Strip me down to skin and bone
If I’m honest
I’m not alone
In the ruins of my pride
I stay
Breaking out of armor made of yesterday
[Verse 2]
I used to fake every steady step
Smile on my face
But my lungs were wrecked
Chasing approval like borrowed air
Running in circles
Going nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
All the glory I kept shining
Turned my worth into a diamond
Too hard
Too cold for my own hands
Now I’m soft enough to stand
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Let the shine fade
Let the dust rise
I’m still here with my open eyes
If the past calls
Let it ring
Let it ring
I’ve got room now to feel everything
[Chorus]
Styl muzyki
Moody alt-pop with sparse piano and warm bass, soft male vocals. Verse sits intimate and close-mic’d, then lifts into a wider pre-chorus with subtle pads and tom builds. Chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, a tight drum groove, and a memorable topline hook, then drops back down for a simple, reflective bridge.
