His Halo

[Intro – slow, eerie piano arpeggios, faint distant hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – gentle piano, quiet cello undercurrent] He brings me lily stems at dawn His hands are warm, his words are calm I trace the scar on his left wrist He says it’s from a childhood twist [Pre-Chorus 1 – building string tension, soft snare tap] I think he’s my answered prayer The kind of love I’ve always cared His eyes hold light I’ve never known I swear my heart has finally grown [Chorus 1 – full piano and strings, haunting vocal harmonies] His halo feels like home to me A safe place where I can be I don’t see the stains upon his soul Just the love that makes me whole [Interlude – sparse piano, faint distant creak] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – layered piano, subtle bassline] He stays up late when I’m asleep Says he’s writing secrets deep I leave him tea when I wake up He smiles like I’m his only cup [Pre-Chorus 2 – swelling strings, faster snare taps] I thank the Lord for sending him A love that feels like no sin I never question where he’s been I just let the peace sink in [Chorus 2 – intensified strings, vocal harmonies, faint distorted guitar] His halo feels like home to me A safe place where I can be I don’t see the blood beneath his skin Just the love that pulls me in [Bridge – stripped back piano, shaky vocal delivery] Last night I found a lockbox tight Hidden where he keeps his light I didn’t peek, I turned away Some secrets aren’t meant to stay [Solo – weeping violin, building to a crescendo] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full orchestral swell, tense distorted guitar, urgent vocals] His halo feels like home to me A safe place where I can be I don’t want to see the truth inside I’ll keep loving him with all my might [Outro – fading piano, single distant door slam] He kisses my forehead goodnight I close my eyes, ignore the fright
