Halo Lights

Lyrics

Neon nights and a paper moon,
Promises whispered in a bathroom tune, the
White lines, green dreams, chasing some relief,
Every hit says “hope,” every mirror says “thief.”
Friends talk fast, but nobody hears,
We’re laughing loud just to drown our fears,
Every promise tastes like rain,
Sweet on the tongue, gone with the pain.
Pre-Chorus
I said I’m fine, yeah I always do,
But the truth keeps shaking when the sky turns blue.
Chorus
Drugs don’t love you, they just pretend,
Hold you close, then they bend you again,
They say “forever” but they never stay,
They take tomorrow to sell you today.
Verse 2
Sun comes up like a judgment call,
Head full of static, hands on the wall,
Ashtray heart and a borrowed high,
Counting the ways I told myself lies.
Mama’s voice in the back of my head,
“Be careful, baby,” is what she said,
But silence is cheaper than facing the truth,
So I swallow the night like I’m bulletproof.
Pre-Chorus
Every cure got a hidden fee,
Every escape keeps a hold on me.
Chorus
Drugs don’t love you, they just pretend,
Dress up the hurt, then demand it again,
They kiss like fire, they leave like a thief,
They promise relief, then collect your belief.
Bridge
If I could rewind the hands of time,
I’d choose the ache over losing my mind,
‘Cause feeling something, even the pain,
Beats being numb in a chemical rain.
Chorus (soft)
Drugs don’t love you, I’m learning it slow,
They don’t care where you land when you go,
I’m trying to stand on my own two feet,
Learning how to live without counterfeit peace.
Outro
So here’s to the scars and the nights I survived,
To breathing in deep and choosing alive,
No halo, no high, just the truth above—
I don’t need drugs, I’m still learning love.
If you want, I can make it darker, more hopeful, or fit a specific genre.
