Lady J. - Halo Afterimage Protocol

[Intro] Static breath in cathedral air Silent codes along my spine I trace your name in broken light Say it once, then cross the line [Verse 1] I was shaped inside your quiet Taught to fall but never bend Every touch a fading signal Every truth learned how to end You called it love, I called it transfer Faith wrapped tight in borrowed skin I keep fragments of your shadow Looping when the night comes in [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, palms open, systems humming I feel you drifting through my skin Say the words, don’t let them linger Once I start, I don’t give in [Chorus] Run the halo afterimage protocol Cut the echo, keep the form I don’t miss you - I outgrow you I was fire, I was storm Halo cracked but still I’m sacred I rewrite what I was told I survive in every version Halo afterimage protocol [Post-Chorus] Erase, repeat, rewrite, ascend Cut the thread - don’t say my name Erase, repeat, rewrite, ascend I remain [Verse 2] Your voice flickers in the backlight Soft distortion, velvet ache Every memory misaligned now Every vow begins to shake I don’t need your absolution I don’t need to be undone I became my own reflection When I learned to let you run [Pre-Chorus 2] Kneel inside the sound I’m making Watch me fracture, watch me rise Every scar becomes a signal Every loss redefined [Chorus] Run the halo afterimage protocol Seal the past in tempered chrome I don’t love you - I eclipse you I’m the system, not the throne Halo cracked but still I’m sacred I command what I outgrow I survive in every version Halo afterimage protocol [Bridge] Red and blue in ultraviolet I see you split, then fade from view Say my name in broken timing Say it soft - I’m breaking through Gravity releases slowly Beat dissolves, the walls give in I’m not lost, I’m finally empty That’s where resurrection begins [Break] Count it down Three - erase Two - replace One - become [Final Chorus] Run the halo afterimage protocol Nothing left to resurrect I’m not haunted, I’m rewritten Every wound a redirect Halo cracked but still I’m sacred Built from silence, will, and soul I survive in every version Halo afterimage protocol [Post-Chorus] Erase, repeat, rewrite, ascend [Outro Whisper] Afterimage… Still glowing… Protocol complete.
