Lyrics

Verse 1

I used to walk in shadows, keeping quiet in my chest,

Held my breath like gravity, afraid to take up space.

But the future flickers open when I move without their frame —

Every step a new horizon, every pulse a burning flame.

Pre‑Chorus

Now the world shifts

When I lift my voice

I feel the cosmos

Bending to my choice

Chorus

I’m wearing starbound skin, brighter than their warnings,

Rising like a signal through the dark.

I’m done shrinking for their comfort —

I was built to leave a mark.

I’m not fragile, I’m not borrowed —

I’m the spark they couldn’t spin.

I’m stepping into life unbroken

In my starbound skin.

Verse 2

Their old fears tried to anchor me, but I cut the tether clean.

Now I’m drifting past the limits they mistook for destiny.

Synth‑light in my ribcage, humming truths they never knew —

I’m a constellation forming, every beat a point of view.

Pre‑Chorus

Now the world shifts

When I lift my voice

I feel the cosmos

Bending to my choice

Chorus

I’m wearing starbound skin, brighter than their warnings,

Rising like a signal through the dark.

I’m done shrinking for their comfort —

I was built to leave a mark.

I’m not fragile, I’m not borrowed —

I’m the spark they couldn’t spin.

I’m stepping into life unbroken

In my starbound skin.

Bridge

Let the synth pads swell like galaxies awake,

Let the old ghosts fade like dust behind my wake.

I’m the orbit of my choosing,

I’m the truth I finally claim —

A body made of courage

And a heart that won’t be tamed.

Breakdown (half‑sung / spoken)

No more shrinking into silence,

No more folding to fit in.

I’m the pulse, the light, the forward path —

I’m rising in my starbound skin.

Final Chorus

I’m wearing starbound skin, brighter than their warnings,

Rising like a signal through the dark.

I’m done shrinking for their comfort —

I was built to leave a mark.

I’m not fragile, I’m not borrowed —

I’m the spark they couldn’t spin.

I’m stepping into life unbroken

In my starbound skin.

In my starbound skin.
