Lyrics
Intro
Long Intro
Intro
I CAN’T—
I CAN’T SEE WHAT I’M BECOMING—
…in the dark…
Verse 1
I kept myself in low light conditions
Afraid of what the flash might show
Every mirror gave contradictions
Every answer overexposed
I held my breath in shallow focus
Tried to frame what I don’t know
But every outline just went ghosted
Every edge refused to hold
Pre-Chorus
And I’ve been waiting in the chemicals too long…
Too long…
Chorus
I’M STILL DEVELOPING—!
Don’t ask me what I am
The image keeps on shifting in my hands
I’M STILL DEVELOPING—!
Somewhere in between
A negative of everything I’ve seen
If there’s a final version, I haven’t got it yet—
I’m still developing…
Verse 2
They say “grow up,” like it’s a process
Like there’s a time it all turns clear
But I’ve been stuck in endless progress
With outdated hopes and blurred-out years
Economies of self collapsing
Infrastructure full of cracks
I built a life on poor reactions
Now I don’t know how to fix the facts
Pre-Chorus – more urgency
And I’ve been soaked in all these elements too strong…
Too strong…
Chorus
I’M STILL DEVELOPING—!
Don’t ask me who I’ll be
The contrast never matches what I feel
I’M STILL DEVELOPING—!
Trapped inside the frame
A fading, half-remembered name
If there’s a perfect picture, it hasn’t shown up yet—
I’m still developing…
Bridge – stripped, then building into chaos
Was I underexposed—or just unseen?
Did I burn too bright somewhere in between?
There’s a light leak running through my chest—
Every flaw I tried to suppress
I tried to fix it—lock it in place
But the colors ran from my face
And every version I thought was true
Was just another shade I never grew into…
[Breakdown
Contact sheets of who I tried to be…
None of them look quite like me…
Long Solo
Verse 3
I tried to make it instant, honest
No darkroom left to hide inside
But every time I thought I’d caught it
It faded right before my eyes
I shook myself like a Polaroid for reaction
Like motion might reveal the truth
But all I got was pale distraction
And outlines I could not improve
Pre-Chorus
And I keep forcing something into form that won’t belong…
Won’t belong…
Chorus
I’M STILL DEVELOPING—!
Don’t tell me I’m complete
I’m just a blur they’re rushing to believe
I’M STILL DEVELOPING—!
Somewhere in the gray
Between what’s lost and what won’t stay
If there’s a moment where it all makes sense—
…I haven’t reached it yet…
I’M STILL DEVELOPING—!
Still dissolving in the light—
Still deciding what is wrong or right—
Outro
Leave me in the dark a little longer…
Maybe I’ll come out… stronger…
…or just… clearer…
Outro
End Now
