How does it feel to be golden?
Tell me how it feels to be shining
Sorry if I seem cold, a little selfish
Really It's just my defenses, I can't help it
I'm just a Midwest City kid
Who be getting insecure
I'm far from picture perfect but
This skin is mine for sure
I sure need you, you to see it too
Colored in every shade of blue
By day grey skies by night I dream in hues
Beyond the contour of my eyes
Uncover me, me
You seeing what the world can't see
Uncover me then color me
Uncover me
My canvas, my body
Uncover me then color me
How long have I been running?
Hiding? Explaining myself?
Every bullet now is painless
My scars are shameless
I can't feel nothing
I gotta keep my eyes wide
Cause ya'll make it hard to trust
I gotta look alive
I can't let nobody see me sweating
Why can't you see me as I am?
Not for what I could be
As much as you trying
No I could never change for ya
Cause there's a fire in my heart
It's ready to blow
It's ready to blow
Uncover me, me
You seeing what the world can't see
Uncover me then color me
Uncover me
My canvas, my body
Uncover me then color me
