Black Halo

Black Halo

Lyrics

[Intro — whispered, clean guitar]

I learned to smile in languages

I never meant to speak

A thousand doors inside my head

And every one of them is me

[Verse 1]

I wear the daylight like a borrowed name

Polished silver over something feral

I know the shape of every rule

Still find a way to bend them

You can read me if you want

But don’t mistake the words for truth

I’ve spent my life dissecting ghosts

Just to find they looked like you

[Pre-Chorus]

And every answer opens

Another door beneath the floor

I keep descending willingly

To places I’ve ignored

[Chorus]

So let the black halo burn

Let it circle my head

I am everything I buried

Everything I never said

If I disappear tonight

Don’t call it losing control

I’m only tearing down the walls

That were never my home

[Verse 2]

I chase the thought until it breaks

Then chase the pieces further

I turn a question into war

And call the wreckage learning

There’s something underneath my skin

That never learned obedience

It whispers when the room goes still

And laughs at my convenience

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve been a stranger to myself

A witness in my own disguise

But every shadow that I feared

Was only asking to survive

[Chorus]

So let the black halo burn

Let it circle my head

I am everything I buried

Everything I never said

If I disappear tonight

Don’t call it losing control

I’m only tearing down the walls

That were never my home

[Post-Chorus — harsh vocals]

I’M NOT YOUR MIRROR

I’M NOT YOUR CURE

I’M NOT THE PERSON

YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW

[Bridge — music drops to clean guitar]

Maybe I’m supposed to leave

Without explaining why

Maybe the truth was never meant

To make anybody comfortable

I loved too deeply

I thought too much

I held the world beneath my tongue

And every time I tried to fit

I disappeared a little more

[Build]

So—

Let the old skin fall

Let the old name die

Let every borrowed expectation

Burn behind my eyes

I don’t need permission

To become unknown

[Final Chorus — huge]

Let the black halo burn

Let it circle my head

I am everything I buried

Everything I resurrected

If I disappear tonight

I’ll return as someone new

Not the version that you wanted

Not the shadow you once knew

Let the black halo burn

Let the whole sky turn

I’ve spent my life becoming

Now it’s finally my turn

[Outro — whispered]

I was never lost.

I was becoming.
