Halo

[Intro – Ambient Scene / Sacred Build] [Rain falling. Reversed piano slowly begins. Distant ambient choir breathes in the dark. A low heartbeat thumps.] [Chorus 1 – Full drop: distorted guitars, falsetto + screams] My halo’s slippin’, I can't rewind Grace in pieces I’ll never find Tears on stone, blood through the veil Even angels rot when they break the spell [Post-Chorus] Lost in faith I couldn't fake A voice like yours I still can't shake You shine through me like a sin I crave I built a church inside your grave [Instrumental – tribal drums enter, choir pads rise. Glitchy vocal samples flicker. Guitars swell and distort into static, then everything cuts suddenly to silence.] [Bell chime.] [Faint thunder.] [Delay trails.] [The song breathes in.] [Verse 1 – Soft male falsetto, stripped-back piano + sub-bass swell] Lit a match inside my chest Watched the light die like the rest You left your name in broken glass Now I sleep in the aftermath No holy water, just static and doubt I sang your name ‘til the silence drowned it out The crown I wore was made of wire Cut my skin while I reached higher [Pre-Chorus 1 – Harmonized whispers + rising cello swell] My hands… they hold my shame Each breath I fake Each lie I lift… My halo’s slippin’… off the cliff [Chorus 1 – Full drop: distorted guitars, falsetto + screams] My halo’s slippin’, I can't rewind Grace in pieces I’ll never find Tears on stone, blood through the veil Even angels rot when they break the spell [Post Chorus] Lost in faith I couldn't fake A voice like yours I still can't shake You shine through me like a sin I crave I built a church inside your grave [Instrumental Break 1 – Post-Chorus Interlude] [Tribal drums enter. Choir pads rise. Glitchy vocal samples flutter. Electric guitar swells underneath and then disappears into static and silence.] [Verse 2 – Spoken Word, then half-sung build] “I tried to rebuild you out of my ruin.” “I wore your absence like a shroud.” “I confessed to a God who forgot my name.” Tried to outrun my reflection’s doubt But it screams the things I never shout Every kiss, a secret kept Every vow — a quiet debt [Pre-Chorus 2 – Bigger build, choir harmony enters] My skin remembers what I erased My lungs fill up with your empty space Every truth I tried to twist… My halo’s slippin’… into the mist [Chorus 2 – Heavier, deeper screams mixed with falsetto above] My halo’s slippin’, I lost the thread All my prayers left unread Even angels curse the light When they fall into the night [Post chorus] You were the psalm I couldn't sing Now I burn on every wing If this is grace, let me descend And kiss the dirt where we pretend [Bridge 1 – Orchestral tension + whispered confessional] [Dramatic cello, piano stabs, tension builds. Voice almost breaks.] “Forgive me... for begging the silence to speak… for lighting candles to forget your heat… for turning you into something I could leave…” [Instrumental Interlude – Extended Soundscape & Breakdown] [Atmospheric textures return. Guitar slowly bends downward. Layers rise one by one — synth, toms, glassy piano, thunder samples.] [Choral sample looped]: "Fall again… fall again…" [Massive drop with crushing guitars and screamed vocals layered behind falsetto.] [Bridge 2 – Full collapse + rage + beauty] I bled for you with no applause Kissed the guilt that stitched my flaws If there's a God, it’s just your voice Echoing through static noise [Screamed] "I! Am! Not! Worthy!" [Falsetto over screams] “I shine wrong… I shine wrong…” [Final Chorus – Slow tempo, majestic and broken] My halo’s slippin’, I can't pretend You were the start and I’m the end No absolution left to buy So bury me beneath the sky [Final post chorus] My halo’s gone but I still glow In the spaces you used to know Your shadow sings me into sleep Where angels fall and secrets keep [Outro – Layered Vocals + Ambient Decay] [Rain returns. Final whispered line loops under layers of reversed vocals, distant thunder, slow breathing.] “My halo’s gone… but I still shine wrong…” [Looped in harmony, decaying into static.]
