nathaniel gray - congrats (you’re still you) lyrics

[verse 1]
woke up swallowed by a name that’s too loud for me
wrote it down just to spell the shame
i wear it like a lie that sounds true
chokes me a little every time i move
bite my tongue just to feel something real
bite my tongue so it looks like peace
tell the mirror “you’re doing okay”
then flinch when it almost believes me

[chorus]
so congrats, you’re still you
still a work of art that flinches at truth
still ghosting your own potential
like, who needs help when you’re existential?

[verse 2]
do i wear the clothes or do they wear me?
is this a costume or identity?
tried to pass as the man that i could be
but i cracked at the weight of wearing him
i play loki’s part like i chose the role
dress the war up like a dream
but the fear has worn my face longer than i have
it’s always been him, he knows how to dress
[chorus]
so congrats, you’re still you
still a work of art that flinches at truth
still ghosting your own potential
like, who needs help when you’re existential?

[outro]
isn’t it romantic
to bleed in lowercase and barely speak?
to lie in ruins and say you’re free?
to burn it down and blame the breeze?
if this is healing, why do i still bleed?
