Bad Habit Halo
Velvet Rebellion
Violet neon on my skin
Boots on steel, the night walks in
Heavy buzz, a patient flame
I crack a grin and call your name
I play with sparks, not cages
Read your pulse, then let it go
I mark the line you need to know
I only fall if I say so!
Click in my ear, count to four
I break the look that asks for more
If you need a crutch, I'm not your fix
Bring me your fire, not your tricks!
Bad habit halo purple 'round my head
I spark the night, but I choose the bed!
I keep the lock, I keep the key
I feel the pull, still I choose me!
I didn't start this loud, this sure
Hoodies in a Texas summer, insecure
Too flat, too weird, too not their type
Half-Asian kid with a drumline life
Leather's my armor, sundress my reprieve
Built these curves so I could breathe
I'm that one now, let them talk
I earned this body, earned this walk!
Click in my ear, count to four
I break the look that asks for more
If you need a crutch, I'm not your fix
Bring me your fire, not your tricks!
Bad habit halo purple 'round my head
I spark the night, but I choose the bed
I keep the lock, I keep the key
I feel the pull, still I choose me!
Small frame, big storm, watch the room bend
Ninety parts trouble, ten parts mend
If my pace is heavy and you're short of breath
Step to the side or match the step!
If you're the quiet one stuck at the wall
If every mirror keeps you small
You're not a phase you have to survive
You're Tinder waiting to come alive!
One steady heart refused command
Didn't fix my storm, gave me her hand
When you're ready, step into the light
I used to be you, stand up and ignite!
Bad habit halo purple 'round my head
I spark the night, but I choose the bed
I keep the lock, I keep the key
I feel the pull, still I choose me!
I keep the lock, I keep the key!
I keep the lock, it don't keep me!
