lyrics

I walk through the house
Up the stairs and then down
Out the windows, under doors
For a crack to let a little light in

I've been hiding out
From my true self
Telling stories, believing lies
Never felt like it was ever quite right

I'm steppin out
I'm steppin out
In truer light
In truer light
And it hurts my eyes
Yeah it hurts my eyes
Just for a time

I catch a glimpse
Of myself in the mirror
It's not who I thought
Would be staring right back at me

Shape shifting form
You look different to me
New identity
It was always there, just beneath

I'm steppin out
I'm steppin out
In truer light
In truer light
And it hurts my eyes
Yeah it hurts my eyes
Just for a time

I was just a kid
Needing reassurance
They wouldn't let me in
You were arms wide open
Such a typical story
Power and advantage
My prefrontal cortex wasn't even
Fully formed yet
And it's hard waking up
For the first time
It's hard waking
For the first time
It's hard

I'm steppin out
I'm steppin out
In truer light
In truer light
It don't hurt my eyes
It don't hurt my eyes
No not anymore
