Seven-Eleven Halo (I.C.E. Warning)

Verse 1 Astral Projection (Headlights flash across the glass) Honed her mind like a weapon (Don’t speak, don’t breathe, just let it pass) Starry eyes turned to heaven Lost herself at the seven eleven (Footsteps heavy by the sliding door) Fluorescent lights and questions (Fake ID burning a hole in the floor) Searching aisles for a lesson Something in her chest kept pressing (Sirens bleeding through the white noise) Like a second resurrection (Shadows uniform, a cold, sharp voice) Pre-Hook She said she on that real shit Can you feel it Haven't felt it since I was a kid (Running through the alleyways, losing a shoe) Sippin truth from the id My crown got popped like a lid (They see the shade of the skin, they look right through) Couldn't stop it, I hid But you can't run from within (Underneath the counter where the shadows spin) Verse 2 Time skip (Tires screech on the hot asphalt) Mind slippin again You forgot your mission again (They call it a random stop, they call it your fault) Born into the same old skin (The wrong kind of pale, the wrong kind of face) Different face same origin Searching outside what lives within (They got dogs in the back, they’re closing the space) You been here before You'll be here again (In the back of a van, out of sight again) Hook Same river different name Same soul different frame You keep coming back the same Till you remember why you came Can't run Can't run (Brake lights flashing) Can't run from within The light was never lost You just forgot to let it in (Keep your head down, don't let the panic win) Verse 3 Gravity center (Radio static crackles: 'We have a visual' ) Anti reality bender She cracked the code Returned to sender (Sprinting past the dumpsters, breaths get miserable) Every life she failed to remember Every flame reduced to ember Rises back in late December (Border patrol jackets cutting through the gray) Rises back (They don't care what your papers say) Bridge Government made fractals (Checkpoints block the highway line) Intergalactic particles of matter (They turn a human soul into a crime) Every truth they tried to scatter Lives inside her Always had her (They got badges, they got steel, they got cages built) Crown intact They couldn't shatter What was never theirs to have her (Projecting past the walls and the systemic guilt) Outro Can't run Can't run (Running out of breath) Can't run from within She remembered She remembered What she'd always been Not the body Not the lesson Not the seven eleven (Just the tactical boots on the floor) Just the light Just the light (Just the heavy fist pounding on the door) Just the light Turned back toward heaven (Vanished into thin air, gone, eleven)
