NYZA ORIGINALS
Chrysalis
She stood in the apartment at dawn, boxes half-packed, the smell of old coffee and possibility mixing in the air. For three years she'd lived small—afraid to rearrange furniture, afraid to repaint walls, afraid to become someone new. Today she stopped waiting for permission and started taping up the last box.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I've been sleeping in the dark so long
Woke up and felt the difference
Your ghost was just a habit anyway
Now I'm breaking down the furniture
I don't recognize my own reflection
But it's the one I chose to face
Chorus
I'm becoming, I'm becoming
Who I was before I learned to hide
I'm becoming, I'm becoming
Wing by wing, I'm stepping into light
No looking back, no fading out
This is how the butterfly wakes up
Verse 2
There's a stranger in my mirror now
She smells like coffee and tomorrow
She knows her voice don't need permission
She's been waiting at the threshold
All the small things that I starved myself
Will finally get to breathe
Chorus
I'm becoming, I'm becoming
Who I was before I learned to hide
I'm becoming, I'm becoming
Wing by wing, I'm stepping into light
No looking back, no fading out
This is how the butterfly wakes up
Bridge
Every wall I painted beige
Every word I swallowed down
Every night I played it safe
Was just cocoon around my sound
Now I'm splitting at the seams
This is exactly how it's supposed to feel
Outro
I'm becoming, I'm becoming
I'm becoming home
