    1 … NO ONE ELSE HERE

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I close the door on the outside
    Let the room feel small and bright
    No reflection I must fix
    Just the way this moment is

    I’ve been talking over me
    With a voice I didn’t need
    So I lower every sound
    Let the groove come back around

    I feel my weight, I feel my breath
    Not a question, not a test
    Every thought that wants control
    Learns to loosen, let me go

    I don’t need a clearer sign
    I just need to feel in time
    With a kick beneath my feet
    And the bass that keeps me steady

    When the rhythm strips it bare
    I see myself standing there
    Nothing extra, nothing new
    Just a truth I can’t move through

    There’s no one else here
    Just me and what’s real
    No mask left to remove
    I’m alone in this groove

    Yeah, there’s no one else here
    No reason to steer
    Every breath I choose to keep
    Feels honest, feels deep

    I’ve been counting all the ways
    I fell short on better days
    Now I count what kept me whole
    When I almost lost control

    Every scar I tried to hide
    Still keeps perfect time inside
    Every pause I learned to fear
    Feels like space that brought me here

    Let the night stay unafraid
    Let the groove hold what I made
    If I’m quiet, let it stay
    I don’t need to rush away

    I look back without defense
    Every loss will still make some sense
    Not because it turned out fine
    But it brought me here on time

    I don’t promise more or less
    I just promise honesty
    Every step I let it land
    Feels like home inside my hands

    There’s no one else here
    No crowd, no fear
    Just a rhythm I can trust
    Holding what I was

    Yeah, there’s no one else here
    Nothing left unclear
    I don’t need to disappear
    I’m completely just standing here

    2 … STANDING IN MY LIGHT

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I call my reflection in the window tonight
    Didn’t look away, didn’t dim the light
    All the little doubts tried calling my name
    But I smile back, I’m not the same

    Every step I took left a mark on the floor
    I know what I’m worth now, more than before
    I’ve been quiet long enough to hear my voice
    Now every move I make is a choice

    I don’t need permission, I don’t need a sign
    I’ve been waiting on me all this time

    I’m standing in my light
    I feel it shine
    No shadows on my mind tonight
    I’m standing in my light
    Clear and bright
    This is me and it feels right

    Used to second guess every word I say
    Now I let it roll, let it sway
    Every scar tells me I survive
    Every beat says I’m alive

    I made peace with who I’ve been
    I see power in my skin
    No more running, no disguise
    I trust the fire in my eyes

    I walk steady, head up high
    Not chasing stars, I am the sky
    Every breath feels so true
    I finally see it through and through

    I’m standing in my light
    I feel it shine
    No shadows on my mind tonight
    I’m standing in my light
    Strong and bright
    This is me and it feels right

    3 … NOTHING TO PROVE TONIGHT

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I used to chase the echo of sound
    Every voice telling me to turn around
    Now I stand still, feel the ground
    I know exactly where I’m found

    The mirror doesn’t feel like a test
    Just a quiet, needed rest
    I’ve learned my pace, I’ve learned my time
    This road is mine, this step is fine

    I don’t raise my voice, I don’t rush the truth
    I let it move

    I got nothing to prove tonight
    I breathe easy in my own life
    No second guesses, no rewrite
    I got nothing to prove tonight

    Every scar taught me how to stand
    Every fall helped me understand
    I don’t edit who I am
    I let it show just as I am

    I’ve been hard, I’ve been kind
    I’ve been lost inside my mind
    Now I trust the space I’m in
    Let the quiet pull me in

    I walk steady, shoulders wide
    No fear walking by my side
    What I see feels clear and true
    Enough just being me

    I got nothing to prove tonight
    I breathe easy in my own life
    No second guesses, no rewrite
    I got nothing to prove tonight

    4 … CLEARER THAN YESTERDAY

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I woke up feeling lighter than before
    Like I finally know what I’m here for
    The mirror didn’t ask me who to be
    Just smiled back honestly

    I used to carry weight, the world in mind
    Old fears, old words stuck in time
    Now I let them fall behind my feet
    Every step feels incomplete, no complete

    I don’t rush the moment, I don’t fight the flow
    I’m exactly where I need to go

    I’m clearer than yesterday
    Strong today
    I trust my heart, I trust my way
    I’m clearer than yesterday
    No delay
    I’m here, I’m real, I’m here to stay

    I hear my name when the silence calls
    Not afraid of my rises or my falls
    Every lesson carved into my sound
    Every truth keeps me grounded now

    I don’t hide what I feel inside
    I let it move me, let it guide
    There’s a rhythm in my spine
    It says this life is truly mine

    I don’t need to prove a thing tonight
    I glow steady, not too bright
    I walk forward, calm and sure
    What I am feels solid, pure

    I’m clearer than yesterday
    Strong today
    I trust my heart, I trust my way
    I’m clearer than yesterday
    No delay
    I’m here, I’m real, I’m here to stay

    5 … AFTER THE NOISE FADES

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    When the noise finally steps aside
    I hear my footsteps inside
    Nothing chasing, nothing loud
    Just my breath without a crowd

    I’ve been holding on to days
    That already slipped away
    Now I loosen up my hands
    Let them fall where they land

    I replay words I didn’t say
    Then I let them fade to gray
    They don’t need a second life
    They don’t need to pay the price

    After the noise fades
    I’m still here
    Not afraid to disappear
    After the noise fades
    I feel clear
    Like I’ve been waiting all year

    The quiet doesn’t feel like loss
    Just a place to pause
    I don’t need to fill the space
    I just let it hold my face

    Every sound I used to chase
    Left me moving out of place
    Now I settle in the low
    Let the stillness overflow

    I don’t need to raise my voice
    I don’t need to make the choice
    I just need to let it land
    Feel the rhythm in my hands

    After the noise fades
    I’m still here
    Not afraid to disappear
    After the noise fades
    I feel clear
    Like I’ve been waiting all year

    6 … STANDING WHERE I AM

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I don’t need to reach too far
    I’m exactly where things are
    Every step I second guess
    Brought me here, I must confess

    I’ve been chasing something new
    Now I know what’s always true
    I don’t need to move to grow
    I just need to let it show

    Standing where I am
    I feel the ground
    Nothing lost and nothing found
    Standing where I am
    I hear the sound
    Of my heart beating loud

    The mirror doesn’t lie to me
    Shows me what I need to see
    Not the version I became
    But the one who knows my name

    I’ve been running from the weight
    Now I let it sit and wait
    Every fear that knew my face
    Learns to take its proper place

    I don’t promise clarity
    I just promise honesty
    Every breath I choose to take
    Feels more real for my sake

    Standing where I am
    I feel the ground
    Nothing lost and nothing found
    Standing where I am
    I hear the sound
    Of my heart beating loud

    7 … NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I’ve been holding back too long
    Keeping quiet, playing strong
    Now I let the walls come down
    Let my truth make its sound

    Every secret that I kept
    Every promise that I slept
    Now I lay them in the light
    Nothing hidden from my sight

    I got nothing left to hide
    I let it all come inside
    Every part of who I’ve been
    I don’t need to hide my skin

    I got nothing left to hide
    I walk steady, shoulders wide
    What you see is what is true
    I’m done hiding me from you

    Used to edit every word
    Make sure nothing could be heard
    Now I speak and let it land
    Trust the truth inside my hands

    Every scar upon my face
    Tells a story in its place
    I don’t cover, I don’t fade
    I just let the marks I made

    Show the journey, show the fight
    Show the dark and show the light
    I don’t need a clean disguise
    I just need my honest eyes

    I got nothing left to hide
    I let it all come inside
    Every part of who I’ve been
    I don’t need to hide my skin

    I got nothing left to hide
    I walk steady, shoulders wide
    What you see is what is true
    I’m done hiding me from you

    8 … I’M GOOD RIGHT NOW

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I’m not chasing what’s ahead
    Not replaying what I said
    I’m just here inside this beat
    Feeling whole and feeling sweet

    Every moment that I spent
    Wondering where the meaning went
    Now I know it’s always been
    Right here underneath my skin

    I’m good right now
    No shadows hanging around
    Just a feeling I can trust
    I’m exactly where I was

    I’m good right now
    Heart in sync, no slowing down
    I don’t need a different view
    I’m comfortable and true

    I don’t need to fix a thing
    I don’t need to clip my wings
    I just need to breathe and stay
    Right here in this perfect way

    Looking back without regret
    Every moment that I met
    Was worth a while
    Not because it all went smooth
    But it taught me how to move

    I don’t need a perfect frame
    I like me just the same
    Every note I let it play
    Sounds like me today

    I’m good right now
    No shadows hanging around
    Just a feeling I can trust
    I’m exactly where I was

    I’m good right now
    Heart in sync, no slowing down
    I don’t need a different view
    I’m comfortable and true

    9 … COMFORTABLE IN MY SKIN

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I used to question every step I take
    Wonder which parts of me to fake
    Now I move easy, no disguise
    I mean myself, I recognize

    The room feels warmer when I breathe
    Like everything just lets me be
    No need to rush, no need to win
    I finally fit the life I’m in

    I don’t chase the noise outside
    I listen to the beat inside

    I’m comfortable in my skin tonight
    No heavy thoughts, no second sight
    I stand relaxed, I feel aligned
    I’m comfortable in my skin tonight

    I’ve been shaped by days gone wrong
    Still they taught me how to be strong
    Every memory, every line
    Led me here right on time

    I don’t need a different face
    I don’t need to change my place
    There’s a calm I can’t deny
    Feels like home when I’m inside

    I walk steady, no defense
    Every move feels like it makes sense
    What I see feels true and kind
    I’m at peace inside my mind

    I’m comfortable in my skin tonight
    No heavy thoughts, no second sight
    I stand relaxed, I feel aligned
    I’m comfortable in my skin tonight

    10 … I KNOW THIS FEELING

    Listen to this song on Youtube

    I know this feeling in my chest
    Not the worst, not the best
    Just the weight I’ve learned to hold
    Like a story half untold

    I’ve been here before tonight
    Same old calm, same old fight
    Nothing new to recognize
    Just me looking at my eyes

    I’ve been wrong, I’ve been right
    Both kept me awake at night
    Now I let them take their turn
    I don’t need to always learn

    Every step I second guess
    Still brought me where I rest
    I don’t call it win or lose
    It’s just how I move

    When the groove falls in place
    I don’t rush, I don’t race
    There’s a truth I don’t explain
    Just stay

    Yeah, I know this feeling
    Nothing new, nothing healing
    Just a rhythm I can trust
    Holding me without a fuss

    Yeah, I know this feeling
    Not dramatic, not appealing
    But it stays, and so do I
    I don’t ask it why

    I’ve been chasing different names
    Calling growth a kind of pain
    Now I let the moment speak
    In a language calm and deep

    Every fear that knew my face
    Learns to sit, learns its place
    I don’t push it out the room
    I just let it move

    Let the pocket take its time
    Let me stand inside the line
    If I shake, I shake in tune
    Still inside the groove

    I look back without a deal
    With no excuse, no appeal
    Every version I became
    Still responds when I say my name

    I don’t promise clarity
    I just promise honesty
    Every breath I let it stay
    Feels like truth in its own way

    Yeah, I know this feeling
    No disguise, no concealing
    Just a pulse I choose to keep
    Running steady underneath

    Yeah, I know this feeling
    Nothing lost, nothing needed
    If this moment’s all I choose
    I’m aligned with this groove
