[Intro - Hovering synths, gentle build] [Ethereal vocal, semi-staccato delivery] I know all the names I answer to But none of them feel like mine [Verse 1 - Buoyant rhythm enters, upbeat feel] [Vulnerable delivery, ascending melody] There's a version that I wear for you And another for the phone The one my family thinks they know Has always felt alone My heart does not align With faces that I find In mirrors in all these rooms Each one a different tune (Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!) What is life worth living If you're never really whole? [Pre-Chorus - Building energy, Kate Bush influence] [Voice floating higher, gentle yet fierce] I want to feel it To feel it What other people have To be just one thing Completely Is that too much to ask? [Chorus - Full production, bittersweet contrast] [Powerful yet floating, hopeful sound/sad lyrics] But wherever I go, I change my voice So you won't know me (You cannot see the real thing) And whatever I say depends on who Is listening closely (You cannot know the whole thing) (Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!) [Verse 2 - Return to buoyant rhythm] [Semi-staccato phrasing, pitch inflections] There's boxes in my closet Sorted by the role This one for the people Who prefer me in control That one for the softer days When I can let them see The version that they want to find But still not really me (Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!) Night after night I long to be alright [Pre-Chorus - Voice ascending, yearning] [Philosophical without preaching] I want to feel it To feel it That simple kind of peace When nothing's hidden When nothing's Split into these pieces [Chorus - Bittersweet climax building] [Ethereal power, troubled soul emerging] But wherever I go, I rearrange All my edges (You cannot touch the soft parts) And everyone I love only knows Half the person (You cannot hold the whole heart) (Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!) [Bridge - Gentle yet fierce, ascending higher] [Cathartic build] How I hunger for truth How could you say that I hide too much? I don't want to split I don't want to keep These versions locked away Like secrets that I keep (Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!) (Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!) [Final Chorus - Full floating climax] [Voice at highest, most vulnerable and powerful] And wherever I stand, I'm incomplete Always fractured (You only get a fraction) What is left of me when all the roles Come together? (Is there someone underneath?) (Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!) [Outro - Synths hovering, gentle fade] [Whispered, childlike wonder meeting adult heartbreak] Do I belong here on earth, I don’t know But I long to just feel whole (Dah dah... dah dah...) I just want to be alright Being all of me at once
