A hot mess, hot mess

A hot mess, hot mess

Blowing out a breath, listen up

With the brightest 'you', fill it up

I'm a troublemaker, troublemaker

What's so funny, funny, honey

I've got your attention

Sing loud, loud

In no time, time's up

Open your open mind

Everyone's waiting for me

Create the sensation

Any way it is, okay

Just on my way

Take it slow

No worries

Dancing with the flames

I'm a hot mess, hot mess

The story I've drawn, never hesitate

I'm a hot mess, hot mess

So if you like it,

Shining so bright, it dizzying, dimension

Feel it coming now,

Feel it taking over

I'll blow your mind all the time

Hidden energy, the designer of dreams

Now, oh yeah, that's right

So come on

Always pushing forward

Show you my attitude
