[Verse]
In my room I'm stacking cards
Hiding hearts it feels so hard
Secrets wrapped in fur and fire
Afraid they'll crack under the choir
[Verse 2]
Two paths chasing through my veins
One's a roar the other's a flame
Windows shaking from inside
Wish I could chase without the lies
[Chorus]
I howl to the moon when no one's near
My colors are loud but filled with fear
I'm a heart with stripes and claws unseen
Will you love the real and not the dream
[Verse]
Stereos blare to drown the doubt
Cages lock but I want out
Rainbow trails and tails I wear
A battle within I'm laying bare
[Bridge]
Should I rip the mask and face the storm
Or keep this costume safe and warm
Will love shred through like a piercing light
Or just fade out in the dead of night
[Chorus]
I howl to the moon when no one's near
My colors are loud but filled with fear
I'm a heart with stripes and claws unseen
Will you love the real and not the dream
