[Verse 1]
Scorched sand in my lungs
Temple dust on my knees
They said I was chosen
But they branded me disease
Gold halls
Cold eyes
Every council seat a throne
Call it order
Call it peace
I just call it being alone
[Chorus]
I am breaking in the hologlow
Half in fire
Half in halo
Is this rage a cage or home?
Tell me which scar is my own
I am falling through a fractured sky
Halo slipping over burning eyes
If I stay
If I go
Do I kill the light to feel whole?
[Verse 2]
You speak of calm and code
While a world drowns outside
Tie my hands with your promise
Then you ask me not to fight
He says
“I can end your pain”
Whispers sweet as venom wine
Your faith leaves me in the flames
His lies say they’re on my side
[Chorus]
I am breaking in the hologlow
Half in fire
Half in halo
Is this rage a cage or home?
Tell me which scar is my own
I am falling through a fractured sky
Halo slipping over burning eyes
If I stay
If I go
Do I kill the light to feel whole?
[Bridge]
I see children in my nightmares
Tiny hands reach through the smoke
Hear her calling me a monster
As the promise starts to choke
“Save her
Save them
Save me”
Every vow turns into chains
If the light won’t save the ones I love
Let the darkness take my name (take my name)
[Chorus]
I am breaking in the hologlow
Half in fire
Half in halo
Is this rage a cage or home?
Tell me which scar is my own
I am marching through a crimson sky
Every heartbeat picks a side
If I stay
If I go
Either way I lose my soul
[Outro]
Mask of ash
Voice of steel
Buried boy who used to feel
Call me traitor
Call me slave
I was yours
Before the grave
