Light Me Up

[Intro]
Are you still breathing the violet air

[Verse 1]
Violet bishops stitch my eyelids with fiber optic thread
Torchlight flickers off the helmet where my halo used to rest
Neck veins bulge in nine-point patterns, pressure cracks the glass
I count the seconds till the moon bleeds red across the overpass
Synapses spark in triple helix, dopamine on overload
Every neuron screams a sermon that the silence never told
I swallow static like communion, tongue numb from the volt
My reflection wears a crown of thorns made out of broken bolt

[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm-mmm descending third, mmm-mmm I’m losing earth

[Chorus]
Light me up till the colors burn my name
Cut the sky, let the neon run through veins
If I shatter, scatter me in violet flames
I was never meant to stay the same
Light me up till the colors burn my name
Scream it back till the echo learns my pain

[Verse 2]
Floating past the cratered conscience where the old me used to crash
Gravity is just a rumor when your soul is made of ash
Yellow tape around the orbit, warning signs in reverse
Every planet I abandon writes my wanted in a curse
I hum the fracture frequency till the vacuum learns to sing
Turn the void into a choir, let the nothing wear my ring

[Bridge]
Click-clack reload the serotonin, trigger finger on the pulse
Spit the syllables like shrapnel till the ceiling cracks and folds
Nine inverted crosses branded on the inside of my skull
I exorcise the future with a tongue that tastes like null
Faster, faster, fracture, factor, rapture, capture, Casper
Ghostride through the rapture till the pastor turns to plasma

[Chorus]
Light me up till the colors burn my name
Cut the sky, let the neon run through veins
If I shatter, scatter me in violet flames
I was never meant to stay the same
Light me up till the colors burn my name
Scream it back till the echo learns my pain

[Breakdown]

[Verse 3]
I wear the trench coat lined with galaxies I tore out of my chest
Every pocket holds a comet that I never could digest
Red hands grip the helmet visor, smearing visions on the lens
I see tomorrow in the cracks and choose to break it once again

[Final Chorus]
Light me up till the colors burn my name
Cut the sky, let the neon run through veins
If I shatter, scatter me in violet flames
I was never meant to stay the same
Light me up, ignite the violet reign
Crack the moon and let the cosmos feel my name

[Outro]
The violet air is breathing you
