They see the blue They see the shine They see the cut They call it mine Hood up under camera light Blue stone under my throat Lens flare on the mirrored mask Makes my breathing look controlled Chain bites at my collarbone Crystal throws a cleaner face Every stare gets fed the color No one asks what had to break Rain moves on the window Bass moves through the floor I can hear them loving me From the other side of the door If I take it off Will the room go quiet? If I show my face Will the lights deny it? Tell me what you wanted Was it me or was it this? Every facet knows my name None of them know me They love the light that cuts my face Not what it cost me Blue, blue, burning through Everybody reaches for the view Every facet knows my name None of them know me Facet Facet Bright enough to hide in Facet Facet Sharp enough to shine Messages in midnight blue Hearts under a hooded screen They say I look powerful I know what they have not seen Hands shake in the bathroom dark Pendant swinging like a sign I made armor out of beauty Then I wore it all the time Now the mask has better timing Now the mask knows how to move Now the mask gets all the credit For the things I had to prove If I take it off Will the room still want me? If the blue goes black Will the silence haunt me? Tell me what you followed Was it me or was it this? Every facet knows my name None of them know me They love the light that cuts my face Not what it cost me Blue, blue, burning through Everybody reaches for the view Every facet knows my name None of them know me I was not born shining I was not born cold I was just a person Trying not to fold Then the crystal caught me Then the chain held tight Then the thing that hid me Started eating light If you call it beautiful Say it like a wound Say you saw the shadow Standing in the blue The mask learned my timing The blue took the room Every head turned toward it While I slipped out of view Let the mask breathe Let the cold light lead If you love the shine Then you never loved me Every facet knows my name None of them know me They love the light that cuts my face Not what it cost me Blue, blue, burning through Everybody reaches for the view Every facet knows my name None of them know me Every facet knows my name None of them know me I became the thing I made To keep the dark from owning me They see the blue They see the shine Every facet knows my name None of them know mine
