[Verse 1]
You said I'm “too much”
Like that’s something to fix
I turn my volume up
Watch you choke on the mix
Paint on my collar
Sequins in my hair
If I’m breaking your boxes
Then get some bigger chairs
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been shrinking in the corners
Trying not to blind the room
But every time I dim my colors
I start disappearing too
[Chorus]
I am glitterproof
I don’t rub off when you’re through
Every bruise
Every “too loud”
Turns into costume jewels
I am technicolor truth
Spilling out of every wound
You can throw your shade like stones
But it all looks good on me
(I’m glitterproof)
[Verse 2]
Laugh at my costume
Call my joy “too bright”
I make a stage out of
Any sidewalk light
You keep your grayscale
I’ll keep my parade
You’re scared of looking foolish
I’m scared of feeling safe
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been folding into nothing
Just to make some room for you
But I was born to take up stages
Not a corner of your view
[Chorus]
I am glitterproof
I don’t rub off when you’re through
Every bruise
Every “too loud”
Turns into costume jewels
I am technicolor truth
Spilling out of every wound
You can throw your shade like stones
But it all looks good on me
(I’m glitterproof, hey)
[Bridge]
[Drop to piano and claps]
Tell me again I’m “too dramatic”
Watch me turn it into magic
All this “extra” that you hate
Is what’s keeping me awake
Raise the curtain
Hear me say
[Chorus]
I am glitterproof
I don’t rub off when you’re through
Every bruise
Every “too loud”
Turns into costume jewels
I am technicolor truth
Spilling out of every wound
You can throw your shade like stones
But it all looks good on me
All this extra
All this shine
That’s my power
That’s my spine
You can love me
You can move
But you’ll never scrape me loose
(I’m glitterproof, glitterproof)
