Concrete Halo

Lyrics

Verse 1 Everybody looks beautiful in the dark now, city lights hiding the damage underneath. People fall in love through cracked phone screens, then disappear by the end of the week. There’s a boy passed out in the bathroom while his friends post videos of the night — everybody wants to feel immortal without learning how to stay alive. Pre-Chorus Nobody wants to admit how close they are to falling apart. So we laugh too loud, stay out too late, trying to outrun ourselves in the dark. Chorus And everybody’s aching for something, trying to fill themselves with noise. The rich get richer off the desperation, while the rest of us just try to survive. We spend our lives overstimulated, too numb to notice we’re bleeding out — everybody wants to be seen now, but nobody knows who they are. Verse 2 Children grow up inside algorithms, learning trends before empathy. Everybody’s selling their personality like a product nobody needs. Somewhere a billionaire buys another island while somebody can’t afford to eat — and both of them fall asleep tonight under the same collapsing sky. Pre-Chorus Everybody’s tired in a way they don’t know how to explain. So we keep distracting ourselves just to make it through the day. Chorus And everybody’s aching for something, trying to fill themselves with noise. The rich get richer off the desperation, while the rest of us just try to survive. We spend our lives overstimulated, too numb to notice we’re bleeding out — everybody wants to be seen now, but nobody knows who they are. Bridge We learned to romanticize the damage, turn exhaustion into something beautiful. Everybody’s trying not to collapse inside a world that made us this way. Final Chorus And everybody’s aching for something, trying to fill themselves with noise. The rich get richer off the desperation, while the rest of us just try to survive. We spend our lives overstimulated, too numb to notice we’re bleeding out — everybody wants to be seen now, but nobody knows who they are.
