Black Glass Halo

[Verse 1]
Woke up in a room of echoes
Every mirror turned to face the wall
My shadow wearing my old jacket
Asking me if I recall
Teeth marks on the inside daylight
Lipstick scripture on my hands
"Do you bleed for what you’re hiding
Or just for who you think I am?"
[Chorus]
Black glass halo
Hanging off my name
I break
I bend
I burn
But I don’t change
If I peel my face back
Will I feel the same?
Black glass halo
Cutting through my brain
[Verse 2]
Crossed out eyes in family photos
Someone circled me in red
Every smile looks like a warning
Every word I’ve left unread
I keep carving doors in silence
Then pretending there’s a key
If salvation has a number
Why does it always skip on me?
[Chorus]
Black glass halo
Hanging off my name
I break
I bend
I burn
But I don’t change
If I peel my face back
Will I feel the same?
Black glass halo
Cutting through my brain
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the ghost I feared
Talking through a borrowed mouth (oh)
Maybe all the roads I cursed
Still were dragging me somehow
If I’m just a painted version
Of the man I swore I’d be
Then why does every broken promise
Sound exactly like me?
[Chorus]
Black glass halo
Hanging off my name
I break
I bend
I burn
But I don’t change
If I peel my face back
Will I feel the same?
Black glass halo
Cutting through my brain
[Outro]
Last note ringing in an empty stairwell
My reflection walking out the door
If I’m left here with the echo only
Is that less
Or finally more?

metal, Dark drum & bass fused with modern metal; half-time verses floating over sub-heavy, reverb-drenched piano stabs and distant guitars, male vocals veering between intimate murmurs and strained melodic belts. Chorus snaps into double-time with snarling bass, tight distorted rhythm guitars, and stacked, anguished harmonies. Final pass strips to piano and voice before crashing back with a cathartic full-band hit and trailing ambience., male vocals, soaring
