[Verse 1] I spent years in the mirror Trying to name my face Every label felt borrowed Every answer out of place Twenty-six hit like thunder Twenty-seven, worse than before I kept pulling at my edges Till I found the hidden core I was taught to stay simple Stay pretty, stay polite But my chest kept full of static And my soul kept up a fight I didn't bloom in a moment I split open slow Had to lose a dozen old skins Just to learn what I know [Pre-Chorus] And it was hard Harder than I can say I kept walking through the smoke Till the smoke gave way Between the lines Between the yes and no I found the name I keep When I finally let it show [Chorus] I am pansexual I am non-binary She, him — that's me That's the truth on my skin I am pansexual I am non-binary Love me or leave me I won't fold to fit in [Verse 2] I let people hold my story Then they dropped it in the dirt Said they loved me, said they meant it Then they flinched at what it heard Did a smile, then a detour Like my truth was just a phase Like the parts that make me whole Were the parts they couldn't stay That kind of love gets vicious When it only loves the mask One day you're the one they want Next day you're the thing they can't I learned pain can teach precision I learned silence costs a lot So I stopped shrinking for permission And I stood where I was taught not [Pre-Chorus] And it was tough Tough as nails and then some more Every time I heard "I accept you" There was a slam behind the door But I kept breathing Kept my name in view If they can turn on me that fast Then I can turn toward truth [Chorus] I am pansexual I am non-binary She, him — that's me That's the truth on my skin I am pansexual I am non-binary Love me or leave me I won't fold to fit in [Bridge] Twenty-eight, I got quieter But the world got loud inside Twenty-nine, I got sharper Like a blade I had to hide I don't need your clean little box I don't need your one-way key I am not a warning label I am all of me [Final Chorus] I am pansexual I am non-binary She, him — that's me That's the truth on my skin I am pansexual I am non-binary Love me or leave me I won't fold to fit in I am pansexual I am non-binary She, him — that's me And I'm finally living it
