Lyric

Streetlights smear into a ring of white

Every corner looks the same tonight

Window glass is bending all the lines

Faces melting into highway signs

Reflections argue in the chrome

None of them look quite like home

Camera on the screen forgets my shape

Turns my edges into static haze

Someone tags a moment with my name

But it doesn’t feel the same

If I wipe the surface clean

Will I finally come in clear?

Or will every frame I chase

Just erase the way I’m here?

Out of focus halo around my face

Blurring every fault I’m scared to trace

If I disappear behind this glow

Would you even say you’d know?

In the out of focus halo that I wear

Am I there, or only there?

Bathroom mirror fogged with borrowed heat

Ghosts of days I never got to keep

Neon letters shaking on the glass

Promise more than they can ever have

Every filter tries to fix the light

Push the shadows off the edge of sight

But the stranger staring back at me

Knows that I’m not really free

If I turn the brightness down

Let the noise fall off the page

Will the person underneath

Meet me somewhere past the frame?

Out of focus halo around my face

Blurring every fault I’m scared to trace

If I disappear behind this glow

Would you even say you’d know?

In the out of focus halo that I wear

Am I there, or only there?

Maybe all these softened edges show

More of how I really move and grow

Maybe being sharpened at the seams

Never matched the way I dream

If you stand beside me in this blur

See the way my outlines stir

Maybe we can live with what we see

Even if it’s incomplete

If I let the circles stay

Let the halo keep its glow

Will my fractured little frame

Still be someone you can know?

Out of focus halo around my face

Holding every flaw I used to chase

I will not dissolve behind this glow

I am more than what you’re shown

In this out of focus halo that I wear

I am here, I am still here

Streetlights fade but I remain

In the blur I learn my name
