What It Sounds Like Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rumi] Nothing but the truth now Nothing but the proof of what I am The worst of what I came from, patterns I'm ashamed of Things that even I don't understand [Pre-Chorus: Rumi] I tried to fix it, I tried to fight it My head was twisted, my heart divided My lies all collided, I don't know why I didn't trust you to be on my side [Chorus: Rumi, Zoey, Mira, All] I broke into a million pieces, and I can't go back But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head? I should've let the jagged edges meet the light instead Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony The song we couldn't write, this is what it sounds like [Verse 2: Rumi, All] We're shattering the silence, we're rising, defiant Shouting in the quiet, "You're not alone" We listened to the demons, we let them get between us But none of us are out here on our own You might also like Free RUMI (HUNTR/X), JINU (Saja Boys), EJAE, Andrew Choi (앤드류최) & KPop Demon Hunters Cast HUNTR/X - Golden (Romanized) Genius Romanizations How It’s Done HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI & KPop Demon Hunters Cast [Pre-Chorus: All] So we were cowards, so we were liars So we're not heroes, we're still survivors The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I'm tired But dive in the fire, and I'll be right here by your side [Chorus: All] We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back But now we're seeing all the beauty in the broken glass The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head? Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like [Bridge: All] (Oh) This is what it sounds like (Oh) Hey, hey This is what it sounds like (Oh) Hey, hey This is what it sounds like (Oh) Hey, hey This is what it sounds like (This is what it), this is what it sounds like [Chorus: All] We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head? Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like [Outro: All] (어둠을 밝히려) My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like (우리 노래 부르리라) Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like (Broken world 거치리라) Truth after all this time, our voices all combined (When darkness finally meets the light) When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like
