Seven-Eleven Halo | Grunge Remix | VaVi

(Mmm) Astro projection She sharpened her mind like a blade Starry-eyed staring at heaven In a place where the light never fades Lost in the back of a 7-Eleven Under fluorescent confession Reading the labels like scripture Looking for some kind of lesson Something cracked in her chest Something begged to be heard Like a voice on the static Like a soul without words Something kept pressing through the dirt and the pain Like a second resurrection dragging her back from the drain She said she's on that real shit Can you feel it? I haven't felt this since I was a kid Swallowing truth from the id My crown blew open like a lid I couldn't stop it so I hid But the walls kept breathing thin Then you can't run from within Same river, different name Same soul in a different frame You keep coming back through the flame Till you remember why you came Can't run, can't run Can't run from within The light was never lost You just buried it under skin Time skip, mind slips again Forgot the mission, woke up in the same skin again Different face, same old origin Searching the aisles for what was already within You've been here before, you'll be here again Same blood, same ache, same ghost in the rain You keep reaching out for a door that won't open But the key is in your ribcage, rusty, cracked and broken She said she's on that real shit Can you feel it? I haven't felt this since I was a kid Swallowing truth from the id My crown blew open like a lid I couldn't stop it so I hid But the walls kept breathing thin Then you can't run from within Same river, different name Same soul in a different frame You keep coming back through the flame Till you remember why you came Can't run, can't run Can't run from within The light was never lost You just buried it under skin Gravity center, reality bender She cracked the code and returned to sender Every life she felt to remember Every fire reduced to ember Started crawling back together In the cold of late December Rises back with dirty hands Rises back from the wasteland Rises back through the broken weather Every light stitched back together Government fractals, static in the matter Every truth they tried to scatter Was already living inside her Always had her, never left her Crowning back, they couldn't fracture What was never theirs to capture What was never theirs to master She was not the wound, she was what came after Same river, different name Same soul in a different frame You keep coming back through the flame Till you remember why you came Can't run, can't run Can't run from within The light was never lost You just buried it under skin Can't run, can't run Can't run from within She remembered She remembered what she'd always been Not the body, not the lesson Not the 7-Eleven Just the light, just the light, just the light Turned back toward heaven
