Halo Malfunction

Verse 1

I tried to hold the light steady

Tried to stay inside the lines

Every rule they handed to me

Felt like slowly losing mine

I bent until I started breaking

Smiled until my jaw went numb

Heaven doesn’t keep you safe

When perfection comes with a gun

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t fall

I overloaded

Chorus

Halo malfunction

Static in the glow

I was built for mercy

Now I’m letting go

You wanted something flawless

Something you could trust

Halo malfunction

Now I choose the rust

Verse 2

Every time I fixed the damage

Something deeper split in two

They don’t tell you being good

Means disappearing into you

I stopped asking for forgiveness

Started learning how to breathe

Turns out grace is dangerous

When survival disagrees

Bridge

Light cracked

Signal lost

I’m not broken

I’m the cost

Final Chorus

Halo malfunction

Nothing left to save

I don’t need your heaven

I survived the grave
