Lyric

I’m afraid of people, so I locked myself away

Inside a black birdcage with a lonely name

But honestly, it never felt that bad —

In fact, I kind of liked it there

Nothing wrong with that at all

Still, something kept on growing

Deep inside my chest…

They said I was eerie, hard to approach

A shadow no one dared to touch

Inside that endless black hole

I slowly stopped speaking

And fear turned into longing —

A longing just to fade away…

I loved music, so I shut the world outside

All the noisy voices — gone with headphones tight

And honestly, it never felt that wrong —

In fact, I kind of loved it there

Nothing broken about that

Still, something kept on burning

Somewhere in my chest…

They said I was cold, impossible to read

A secret they could never see

Inside that swirling black hole

I slowly became older

And anxiety kept spreading—

Turning everything to black…

Let them hate me — I don’t really care

I’ve worn a poker face for all these years

I’ve learned to live with the darkness in me

To hold it close instead of breaking free

And I want to stay this way

I want to stay black

Just the way I am

Just the way I am…

Let me stay black…

Let me stay…
