Music: Kelly Boesch
I was born with paper skin
Letting all the feelings in
Watching my entire world unwind
Leaving all the rules behind
Their strict rules fit like borrowed clothes
On my strange and tender bones
I never felt like I belong
A half-remembered, distant song
So my heart I rearrange
Even when they call me strange
If this world feels hard and vast
I will try to move right past
I am not made for the cage
I don't mind if you find me strange
(Oh, I am strange)
I bloom where the wild wind stays
I am not lost, I am true
A star with a different hue
(I am true)
I was made to outgrow you
The room is full of polished faces
All their smiles in perfect places
I move like rain running down glass
A little shy, a little brash
My mind is a sprawling tide
With secret currents locked inside
And when the night begins to bloom
I am the fever in your room
And I hear, beneath the noise
Some soft and ancient joy
Saying, child, donβt disappear
You were written to be here
I am not made for the cage
I don't mind if you find me strange
(Oh, I am strange)
I bloom where the wild wind stays
I am not lost, I am true
A star with a different hue
(I am true)
I was made to outgrow you
If I am odd, then let me be
A little ash, a little sea
I do not need their neat design
My broken edges are divine
I am not made for the cage
I don't mind if you find me strange
(Oh, I am strange)
I bloom where the wild wind stays
I am not lost, I am true
A star with a different hue
(I am true)
I was made to outgrow you
