Bare face on, Bad nights loud, Still breathing, Still proud. I don’t blur the cracks I’m in, Cry too hard, then laugh again, Lose my phone, forget the time, Memorize every fault of mine. Mood-swing halo, midnight grin, Soft-spoken teeth when I lean in, Break the rules, don’t beg for peace, Holy chaos in designer seams. I’ve got edges, I’ve got scars, I’d rather bleed than play a part, I won’t fade into what you are. I’m a flawless mess in velvet flame, Every scar stitched into my name. Not wrapped pretty, not tied up tame, Still standing tall inside the rain. Loose screws humming, heartbeat intact, Step too close and I snap right back, I don’t soften just to be liked— Yeah, I like it like that. I don’t smile when I’m told to behave, I don’t freeze just to look okay, I’d rather burn with my hands held high Than sparkle quiet in a glass display. Ghost then flood in a single breath, Overshare then dodge your texts, Mirror cracked but I hold that frame, Every version answers my name. Silk on fire, Truth in scars, Never lied about who we are, I wear the warning like a mark. I’m a flawless mess in velvet flame, Every scar stitched into my name. Not wrapped pretty, not tied up tame, Still standing tall inside the rain. Loose screws humming, heartbeat intact, Step too close and I snap right back, I don’t soften just to be liked— Yeah, I like it like that. I don’t fold into smaller shapes, I fracture lines you try to trace, You wanted calm, you wanted safe— I was built to shake the place. They said slow down, they said behave, Said I burn too bright to save, I’d rather glow inside the flames Than decorate a quiet cage. I’m a flawless mess in velvet flame, Every scar stitched into my name. Not wrapped pretty, not tied up tame, Still standing tall inside the rain. Loose screws humming, heartbeat intact, Step too close and I snap right back, I don’t soften just to be liked— Yeah, I like it like that. Not your cure, Not your calm, Not your version I perform, Crowned in static, crowned in flame— A flawless mess by choice and charm.
