Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Zip up the smile
Mask on my mouth
Every room I enter
I edit myself out
Reading the air
Like it’s life or death
Turn my pulse to plastic
Shrink my breath
Say the “right” thing
At the “right” time
But each small approval
Costs a piece of my mind
[Chorus]
I’m tired of this tight costume
Stitched from fear and “please don’t go”
I’m slipping out the seams tonight
Let the real one overflow
I’m done with the false reflection
Built on “tell me I’m enough”
I’m walking out the old projection
To fall, to fail, to feel, to love
[Verse 2]
Smile’s too shiny
Jaw locked, eyes glazed
Laugh at your joke
While my soul looks away
Every move rehearsed
Like a test I can’t fail
But the gold star glitter
Feels heavy as jail
What if I’m quiet
What if I’m loud
What if I don’t fit
In your careful crowd
[Chorus]
I’m tired of this tight costume
Stitched from fear and “please don’t go”
I’m slipping out the seams tonight
Let the real one overflow
I’m done with the false reflection
Built on “tell me I’m enough”
I’m walking out the old projection
To fall, to fail, to feel, to love
[Bridge]
Under the act
There’s a soft, slow rhythm (oh)
No script, just breath
Just a wide, worn wisdom
I’m still scared of the silence
Still scared of your “no”
But that quiet, honest shaking
That’s the truest thing I know
[Chorus]
I’m tired of this tight costume
Stitched from fear and “please don’t go”
I’m slipping out the seams tonight
Let the real one overflow
I’m done with the false reflection
Built on “tell me I’m enough”
I’m walking out the old projection
To fall, to fail, to feel, to love

Prompt
the false self was created to survive be loved, avoid rejection, but it's exhausting to maintain. it feels tight, performative and anxious. the true self feels easeful, natural, aligned
