delikately - the clara code lyrics

Loading...

i never raised my hand in school
tried once, thought i had it right
the teacher said, “can you say that louder?”
i froze
the boy beside me heard it
said it instead, and they praised him

guess i’m not the loudest voice
just the one who sings quietly
so no one hears me saying
“is it still g+nius if no one lets it be?”

guess i pulled a clara again
played myself into the background noise
they let me play, but not too much
clapped like they were being polite

said i should’ve stayed in my lane
so i took my brain out for a run
and we both agreed to keep it small
less noise, less trouble, less talk

someone said i’d peak at twenty
which felt rude, and also kind of weird
weird, right?
i laughed, then cried, then laughed again
the mirror didn’t mind
guess i’m not the loudest voice
just the one who sings quietly
so no one hears me saying
“is it still g+nius if no one lets it be?”

guess i pulled a clara again
ah+huh
played myself into the background noise
they let me play, but not too much
clapped like they were being polite

said i should’ve stayed in my lane
so i took my brain out for a run
and we both agreed to keep it small
less noise, less trouble, less talk
saying, “is it still g+nius if no one lets it be?”

i think i peaked in black+and+white
or in a time that never was
they called it g+nius when i shut up
called it jealousy when i spoke

i used to file my edges off
now i just keep ’em in folders
fold my heartbreak into chord changes
and inside jokes no one gets
no one gets
guess i pulled a clara again
played myself into almost something
they let me play, yeah, just enough
to say they “gave me sp+ce”

said i had “potential”
but not the kind that makes a dent
not quite
so i took my brain out for a walk
and we talked a bit
then just… didn’t go back
