[Intro: Soft synth pads with distant reverb] (whispered) Pink light cuts through the haze Silver chains catch the glow [Verse 1] Heavy boots on polished wood Each step echoes what I lack Black lace clings to trembling skin While courage slowly cracks Messy lines beneath my eyes Tell stories I can't hide Corset tight around my chest But loose around my pride [Pre-Chorus] The fog rolls in like whispered doubts Spotlight finds my flaws But here I stand, here I turn Despite what judgment draws [Chorus] Awkward grace in velvet shadows Spinning through my fears Every stumble tells a story Every turn reveals I'm more than leather, more than darkness More than what you see In this moment, soft and clumsy I'm learning how to be [Inst] [Verse 2] Arms like branches, stiff and strange Reaching for something real Sideways glances catch the light Of everything I feel Pale foundation can't conceal The flush across my cheek In combat boots and silver chains I'm stronger when I'm weak [Pre-Chorus] The theater holds its gentle breath As I find my way Through movements that don't match my mask But honest in their sway [Chorus] Awkward grace in velvet shadows Spinning through my fears Every stumble tells a story Every turn reveals I'm more than leather, more than darkness More than what you see In this moment, soft and clumsy I'm learning how to be [Bridge: Stripped down to soft guitar and whispered vocals] (softly) Let the pink light wash me clean Of everything I thought I had to be In this sacred, scary space I'm finding my own way to breathe [Chorus] Awkward grace in velvet shadows Spinning through my fears Every stumble tells a story Every turn reveals I'm more than leather, more than darkness More than what you see In this moment, soft and clumsy I'm learning how to be [Outro: Fading synths with distant reverb] (whispered) Heavy boots on sacred ground Silver chains that set me free
