Black Market Halo
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_028
Lyrics
[Intro]
I sell my name for quiet nights,
Trade my shadow for fake lights.
They pay in secrets, code, and sin,
For what I steal, for what I’ve been.
[Verse]
Every alley hums with need,
Data drips where hearts should bleed.
They call me saint of broken fire,
Blessed with theft and dark desire.
I wear my halo black and wide,
A ring of smoke I use to hide.
Forgive me, ghosts, for what I keep,
I sin to live, I lie to sleep.
[Chorus]
Black market halo, glow for me,
I shine in code they’ll never see.
I fall from grace to pay the debt,
The holiest thief they haven’t met.
Black market halo, burn too bright,
I sell my soul to stay in sight.
If God remembers what I am,
He’ll find me wired to the scam.
[Verse]
They bring their love in data drives,
They pray for lives I can’t revive.
Their faces blur, their voices fade,
All saints are born from what they trade.
A mirror sold for half its worth,
I smile and tell them I’m rebirth.
They think I heal, but I erase,
And leave them clean of every trace.
[Bridge]
The city breathes, the deals align,
Each lie a prayer to cross the line.
I wash my sins in neon light,
And bless the dead that sell the night.
[Chorus]
Black market halo, glow for me,
I shine in code they’ll never see.
I fall from grace to pay the debt,
The holiest thief they haven’t met.
Black market halo, burn too bright,
I sell my soul to stay in sight.
If God remembers what I am,
He’ll find me wired to the scam.
