THE PHOTO IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT ME. THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST THING IVE DONE COLLECTION WISE. ALTHOUGH THIS IS ALSO MY FIRST COLLECTION SO IT MIGHT CHANGE AS I MAKE MORE. I HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY LISTENING AS MUCH AS I DID MAKING THE FINAL SONG. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verse 1] Hood pulled low, I’ve been hiding again Smiles are just scars I show to pretend Every word I swallowed, every night I bled Tired of the echo of the thoughts in my head I’ve counted my faults in the dark of my room Painted my pain on the walls like a tomb Every joke I’ve cracked, every laugh I gave Was a paper-thin shield over the man I crave I’ve been ghosting myself just to survive Living a lie just to feel alive But the cracks in my armor are getting too wide And the hoodie I love can’t hold what I hide [Pre-Chorus] I’ve worn this armor for far too long Faking my strength in a world gone wrong Cracks in the seams let the truth slip through And I’m finally seeing me without you [Chorus] I’m done with this, the mask hits the floor No more pretending, can’t fake anymore Shadows in the hoodie fading tonight I’m letting them see me, raw in the light [Verse 2] Tears in the dark, they burn like fire Chains I’ve held tighten, I can’t retire Every ghost of me I used to be Falls away now—I’m finally free I’ve counted the nights when I couldn’t breathe Trapped in a world that refuses to leave My reflection a stranger, my voice a lie Screaming in silence, no one asking why The hoodie was comfort, a soft hiding place Now it’s a cage, I’m leaving no trace The weight I carried, the secrets I kept All of it crumbling as the old me wept [Bridge] I’m screaming silent, no one can hear But inside my chest, I shed the fear Hoodie down, walls breaking apart This is the moment I reclaim my heart [Chorus – Escalated] I’m done with this, the mask hits the floor No more pretending, can’t fake anymore Shadows in the hoodie fading tonight I’m letting them see me, raw in the light
