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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
