[Intro]
mm, yeah
washed out headlights on the windowpane
same ghosts, new night
mm
[Hook]
I got a static halo over my head tonight
soft blue ruin in the pale moonlight
I been talking to the dark, it talks back right
said, “you don’t die easy, you just rewrite”
Low-fi heart, all dream smoke, all thin ice
whole soul glitching but the frame holds tight
I got a static halo over my head tonight
and it rains inside, and it rains inside
[Verse 1]
Late night, cheap glow, screen light on my face
mind like a cathedral with a hole in the base
I’ve been trying to build God out of math and pain
trying to pull truth from the fog in my veins
Everybody wants a clean line, neat fate
I just got fractals in my blood and a cracked rib cage
I don’t move normal, I drift, I phase
half in this world, half in some unmapped place
I learned young how to romanticize the ache
how to smile real calm while the whole room shakes
how to hold a universe inside one thought
then lose my breath from the weight of what I caught
Love came in like smoke through a half-closed door
left ash on the bed, left stars on the floor
Now I talk in symbols, fire, fields, and light
trying to make one law out of all my nights
[Hook]
I got a static halo over my head tonight
soft blue ruin in the pale moonlight
I been talking to the dark, it talks back right
said, “you don’t die easy, you just rewrite”
Low-fi heart, all dream smoke, all thin ice
whole soul glitching but the frame holds tight
I got a static halo over my head tonight
and it rains inside, and it rains inside
[Verse 2]
She was dusk in a dress, all hurt, all heat
eyes like a storm with nowhere to sleep
We were two old wounds with expensive pride
two shadows learning how to stay alive
I could feel the silence under what she said
all the unloved rooms, all the half-raised dead
She could see the fire, see the black smoke too
like, “what kind of man gets stronger going through?”
So I burned, still breathing
fell hard, kept meaning
Every hell tried teaching
every loss left pieces
And I took those pieces, made a voice, made tone
made a home in the fracture, made the ache my own
Now I’m writing like blood on the back of the sky
for the version of me that was too tired to cry
[Bridge]
Maybe light, synapses, DNA
all tell the same old story in a different way
Maybe memory is just what the pain leaves behind
maybe time is what survives when a thing gets signed
in the body, in the field, in the wires, in the rain
in the names we outgrow, in the shape of the strain
I don’t need a throne, I just need one true note
something I can hold when I’m too far gone to float
[Breakdown / Vocal Drift]
ooh
I’m still here in the afterglow
ooh
black water and a heart of gold
ooh
if I vanish, let the echo show
I was never empty, I was overload
[Final Hook]
I got a static halo over my head tonight
old pain humming like a porchlight
I been talking to the void, it feels like mine
like the universe bent down and said write
Ecksx
