Digital Halo

[Intro]

[3-second swell of reverb and reverse guitar

Vocal hums rising]

[Verse 1]

Blue glow on my thumbs

Half-charged

Half-awake

Dust dancing in the screen-light

Your name almost escapes

Glitch ghosts in our chat

Last seen

Then it fades

Typed words I never send you

Hover

Then erase

[Chorus]

You’re my digital halo

Burned in on my eyes when I blink too long

Static in my daylight

Soft blur of your voice at the edge of a song

I keep scrolling through the afterglow

You flicker

Then you’re gone

Digital halo

Still hanging on

Hanging on (oh)

[Verse 2]

Headphones

Hallway echo

Neighbors slam their doors

I replay our last December

Till it warps and bends the chords

Your laugh in slow motion

Bitrate breaking down

Heart lag

Heavy connection

Lost inside this crowded town

[Chorus]

You’re my digital halo

Burned in on my eyes when I blink too long

Static in my daylight

Soft blur of your voice at the edge of a song

I keep scrolling through the afterglow

You flicker

Then you’re gone

Digital halo

Still hanging on

Hanging on (yeah)

[Bridge]

If I kill the power

Will you disappear

Or stay in the phantom color

Floating in the atmosphere

I tap the glass

Whisper your name

Nothing answers back

But it still feels the same (hey)

[Chorus]

You’re my digital halo

Burned in on my eyes when I blink too long

Static in my daylight

Soft blur of your voice at the edge of a song

I keep scrolling through the afterglow

You flicker

Then you’re gone

Digital halo

Still hanging on

Hanging on
