[Intro] (a single glitchy vocal stutter over silence, then the 808 drops in) I—I—I'm not... not hiding it— (808 hits) [Verse 1] No armor on tonight, just skin and bone Tired of pretending I'm made of stone You wanna see me? Here's the real thing No filter, no mask, no glittering I cracked a little, didn't fall apart Turns out the truth's the sharpest art Say what you want, I'm done playing safe I'd rather burn than fake a straight face [Chorus] I'm a bare wire, live and exposed Touch me wrong and watch how it goes Sparking, breaking, I don't hide the cost This ain't weakness, it's the wall I lost Bare wire, feel the shock Every truth I never locked [Verse 2] Used to build these walls up thick and high Called it strength but it was just a lie Now I'm standing here with nothing hid Scarier and freer than I ever did Let it show — the cracks, the doubt, the fight Turns out honest looks good in this light I don't need the armor anymore The bare version's the one worth fighting for [Chorus] I'm a bare wire, live and exposed Touch me wrong and watch how it goes Sparking, breaking, I don't hide the cost This ain't weakness, it's the wall I lost Bare wire, feel the shock Every truth I never locked [Bridge] (total drop-out — just breath and a flickering synth, then a hard re-entry) (breath) I'm not scared of the spark anymore... (synth flickers) Let it show— (hard re-entry, drums slam back in) [Outro] (chorus loops and degrades into static/glitch texture, cutting hard) Bare wire, feel the shock Bare wi—wi—wire... (glitch texture, hard cut)
