HOLLOW HALO

[Intro]

My head’s a carousel,
spinning out but I swear I’m fine.
Laughing while I’m breaking
just to keep the light alive.

[Verse 1]

I fake a smile like armor
just to get me through the day.
Every joke’s a warning shot
to keep the shadows far away.
I’m dancing on the fault lines,
acting like I’m bulletproof.
But every step I’m taking
puts another crack into the truth.

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m falling through the static,
but it feels like home.
I’m screaming through the panic,
never not alone.

[Chorus]

Hollow halo, glowing crooked on my head.
Everybody sees the light
but never where it bled.
I’m a daydream wrapped in chaos,
a ghost inside my skin.
Hollow halo,
but I still pretend I’m whole again.

[Verse 2]

I keep my heartbeat wired
to the rhythm of the noise.
Turn the panic into glitter,
turn the silence into voice.
I’m burning like a glitch
behind a technicolor smile.
If I crash, at least I’m shining
for a little while.

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m falling through the static,
but it feels like home.
I’m screaming through the panic,
never not alone.

[Chorus]

Hollow halo, glowing crooked on my head.
Everybody sees the light
but never where it bled.
I’m a daydream wrapped in chaos,
a ghost inside my skin.
Hollow halo,
but I still pretend I’m whole again.

[Bridge]

Yeah, I’m stitched together
with the pieces I outgrew.
I paint my cracks in neon
so no one sees the truth.
But if I’m falling, let me fall
like I was meant to break.
Maybe healing starts
the moment everything is fake.

[Final Chorus]

Hollow halo, glowing crooked on my head.
Everybody sees the light
but never where it bled.
I’m a daydream wrapped in chaos,
a ghost inside my skin.
Hollow halo,
but I still pretend I’m whole again.
Hollow halo…
and I’ll pretend I’m whole again.

Metalcore, catchy, female
