Ugly Come Through

(Verse 1)

Scratch the beauty, let the ugly come through

Tear down the curtains, let in a different view

Tired of the painted smiles and the perfect lines

I wanna see the cracks, the twisted signs

The broken promises, the faded dreams

The silence screaming, the broken seams

(Chorus)

'Cause in the ugly, there's a certain kind of truth

A raw and honest, unedited proof

Of all the battles, the scars we've earned

The lessons learned when the world was burned

I’m not your perfect view

Let the ugly come through

Let the ugly come through

(Verse 2)

Peel back the layers, the polished facade

The perfect picture, the clever charade

I'm searching for the ghost in the machine

The painful memory, the forgotten scene

The whispers hidden in the dead of night

The faded colors of a distant light

(Chorus)

'Cause in the ugly, there's a certain kind of truth

A raw and honest, unedited proof

Of all the battles, the scars we've earned

The lessons learned when the world was burned

I’m not your perfect view

Let the ugly come through

Let the ugly come through

(Bridge)

Don't hide the shadows, the crooked parts

The fragile pieces of our shattered hearts

'Cause when we face them, we start to heal

This is the moment, this is what's real

Scratch the beauty, let the ugly come through

It's in the shadows that we find what's new

A different kind of light, a different kind of grace

A wild and wonderful, imperfect place

**[Whispered outro]**

Let the ugly come through

Let the ugly come through
