Sunny Fade - Stopped Not Being Me (Miniah special)

"being me and i tried not being me and i lied to myself and i cought myself and i yelled at me and i then stopped not being me" - Miniah [Verse 1]

Neon shadows on the ceiling

Melt into my tired eyes

Every version of my feeling

Wears a different thin disguise

I drift through borrowed personalities

Like ghosts inside a crowded room

Every mirror bends reality

And whispers, “You’ll be gone soon…”

Pre-Chorus

I kept running from the echo in my head

But it followed every step I took instead

Chorus

Being me… and I tried not being me

And I lied to myself till I couldn’t see

Then I caught myself in a silent scream

And I yelled at me in a broken dream

Then I stopped… not being me

Verse 2

Colors bleed like distant sirens

Through a sky that’s painted wrong

I was stitching up the silence

But the thread was way too long

I wore a mask made out of maybes

And danced along a crooked line

Every “what if” slowly caved me

Till I forgot what felt like mine

Pre-Chorus

I kept hiding in the static of my mind

But the truth was always louder every time

Chorus

Being me… and I tried not being me

And I lied to myself till I couldn’t see

Then I caught myself in a shattered scene

And I yelled at me, “What does it mean?”

Then I stopped… not being me

Bridge – psychedelic breakdown

Spinning, slipping through identities

Falling through infinity

Every face I tried to be

Was just another enemy

Echoes laughing in delay

“Why’d you throw yourself away?”

Through the haze I heard it say:

“You were never meant to stray…”

Soft Chorus

Being me… I was always me

Even buried underneath debris

When I caught myself, I finally breathed

And I let me be… just let me be

Outro

Neon shadows fade to nothing

But I’m still here, finally free

I stopped running, stopped becoming

Anything but being me…
