Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m not a stranger to my mind
“Stay quiet,” they say
‘Cause they don’t like my sensory find
I used to hide the stims I felt inside
“Run away,” they say
Said no one will love you as you are

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t let them mute my spark
I know there’s a place for us—neurodivine

[Chorus]
When the loudest sounds wanna break me down
I’ll build up shields to drown them out
I am brave, I am bright
I am who I’m meant to be—this is me
Watch out ’cause here I stand
Marching to the beat my heart commands
I’m unashamed to be seen
No apologies—this is me

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Another wave of chaos hits my brain
“Go silent,” they say
But today I’ll let my colors reign
We are bursting through the labels and the shame
Reaching for the sky
Yes, that’s just how we have become

[Chorus]
When the loudest sounds wanna break me down
I’ll build up shields to drown them out
I am brave, I am bright
I am who I’m meant to be—this is me

[Bridge]
And I know that I deserve your love
There’s nothing that I’m not worthy of

[Chorus x2]
When the loudest sounds wanna break me down
I’ll build up shields to drown them out
I am brave, I am bright
I am who I’m meant to be—this is me

I am brave, I am bright
I am who I’m meant to be—this is me
Gonna build the shields
Gonna drown them out
This is me
