WHAT I AM 🤍

V5.5

[20-SECOND CINEMATIC INSTRUMENTAL INTRO — MUSIC ONLY] [VERSE 1 — MALE LEAD] You watch me from across the room, Like every silence leaves a clue. You ask your friends why I disappear, Why I come close, then won't stay near. They tell you there's something strange in me, Something your eyes weren't meant to see. But every warning pulls you closer still, And every time you look at me, I lose my will. [PRE-CHORUS — MALE LEAD] You keep asking what I'm hiding, Why my hands are always cold. Why I leave before the morning, Why my eyes look far too old. You look at me like you already know me, But you have no idea what I am. [CHORUS — POWERFUL MALE LEAD] Don't come closer, don't come closer, There's a side of me you don't understand. Don't come closer, don't come closer, You might reach for me and never make it back. You say you want the truth, You say you can handle who I am. But don't come closer... You have no idea what I am. [INSTRUMENTAL GROOVE BREAK — DARK BASS, CINEMATIC STRINGS, CONGAS, ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION] [VERSE 2 — MALE LEAD] You start to notice I don't change, While every season slips away. You catch me watching from the shadows, Then I vanish before you say my name. Your friends keep telling you to leave, They see the danger underneath. But you don't run, you come much closer, Like there's something only you can see. I try to make you hate the mystery, I try to give you every reason to go. But every time you turn away, I feel a part of me let go. [PRE-CHORUS — MALE LEAD] You keep asking why I fear you, Why I never let you stay. Why I hold you like I need you, Then I push your hands away. You look at me like you already know me, But you have no idea what I am. [CHORUS 2 — BIGGER] Come no closer, come no closer, There's a secret underneath my skin. Come no closer, come no closer, If I let you in, you may not leave again. You say you want the truth, You swear you won't be frightened by my past. But come no closer... You have no idea what I am. [DARK INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — BUILDING BASS, VIOLINS, ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION] [BRIDGE — LOW, INTIMATE MALE VOCAL] Maybe you should walk away, Before the night reveals my name.
