[Verse 1] Mirror dripping colors Face I know, then gone Mascara rivers running Through a jawline drawn Hands that never fit me Sleeves that never stay Name that feels like static When they say it straight [Pre-Chorus] I peel the painted ceiling Find another sky Every layer that I’m losing Is a truer lie [Chorus] I’m a fractured halo Spinning through the smoke Every shade I bleed through Turns the cage to gold Call me by my next life Watch this body glow I was never your ghost I’m the altar and the oath [Verse 2] Wardrobe full of costumes They called “proper,” “pure” Every photograph a stranger Every compliment a cure I carved a doorway in my ribcage Stepped through my own skin (oh) If I’m the sin they’re singing Let the heresy begin [Pre-Chorus] Your scripture couldn’t hold me Your binaries collapse I bloom between the borders Where your language cracks [Chorus] I’m a fractured halo Spinning through the smoke Every shade I bleed through Turns the cage to gold Call me by my next life Watch this body glow I was never your ghost I’m the altar and the oath [Bridge] [Guitars and synths spiral into a slow, hypnotic groove] Strip me of the stories Leave me in the flame I’ll rise in shifting colors You’ll stumble on my name I am not transition I am every door Opening, reopening Into something more (yeah) [Chorus] I’m a fractured halo Spinning through the smoke Every shade I bleed through Turns the cage to gold Call me by my next life Watch this body glow I was never your ghost I’m the altar and the oath [Outro] Say it soft, say it right New tongue, same soul I was always this light Now I’m burning whole
