Blue hair in the mirror, silver stare Lipstick smile says I still care Freckles hide where the angels sleep I write your name where the cuts go deep Books on the floor, blood on the page I learn my lessons cage by cage You think I’m soft, I let you believe Truth tastes sweeter when it makes you bleed Pre-Chorus I laugh too loud, I tilt my head Say “don’t worry” like I never said Every promise I ever break Feels like art I get to make Chorus I wear a paper halo, crooked and thin Looks so pure till I let you in Candy voice, razor grin I hurt you slow, then call it love Paper halo, tear it down Kiss the wound, then twist it round Sweetest thing you ever saw Till you beg me to stop Verse 2 Purple shirt, paint on my knees White shoes walking through your pleas I read your fear like poetry Underline what you won’t say to me Heart-shaped mark where secrets live I take more than I ever give October nights taught me well Heaven’s boring—I prefer hell Pre-Chorus I hum along while you shake I don’t rush—I like the wait Say my name like it’s a prayer I won’t answer, I just stare Chorus I wear a paper halo, crooked and thin Looks so pure till I let you in Candy voice, razor grin I hurt you slow, then call it love Paper halo, tear it down Kiss the wound, then twist it round Sweetest thing you ever saw Till you beg me to stop Bridge (Industrial / Whispered) Ink-stained hands, static skin Tell me where it hurts—I’ll begin Smile wide, don’t make a sound God’s not here—I’m the one you found Final Chorus Paper halo, watch it burn Every touch a lesson learned If pain’s a language, I’m fluent now Say you hate me—say it loud Paper halo, angel face Leave my mark, erase the place I’m the story you won’t forget Sweet but deadly—don’t regret Outro Turn the page. Bleed the truth. I was always the proof.
