Candles in a blackout room. Honey words and hidden wounds. I was just a kid with a cracked heart. You were a smile like sacred art.
They said psyche sees your pain. Psyche turns it into flame. So I stepped into the circle where the air tastes sweet and purple. Hands up. I should say your name. Repeat the flower. Raise the
blade. You called it love. I called it truth till the truth started bleeding through. And I felt so clean when you gave me rules to breathe. But the more I tried
to follow, the more you hollowed me. Lost faith in the cold of psyche. Lost myself in the quiet behind me. Heaven was a hallway. No exit, no light. See, I was praying for a sign, but you were selling me silence.
I lost faith. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. You baptize me in neon rain. Call my doubts a splitting brain. Don't ask why. Don't look outside. That
world only wants you to die. We wore crowns made out of bruises and the hymns you always chosen. If someone cried, you call it weakness. Then you'd punish them with sweetness. I used to think your voice was God.
Now it sounds like broken glass. Every promise had a price tag. And my soul was paying fast. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. Lost myself in the choir behind me. Heaven was a hallway. No exit, no light. See, I
was praying for a sign, but you were selling me silence. I lost faith. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. Now the halo's just a fracture. Golden
ring around disaster. You don't say, you just take. And I still wake up shaking like your hands are on my face. And I hate that
part of me still misses the escape. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. I lost faith in the cult of psyche.
Your heaven was a hallway. No exit, no mercy. I was begging for my life while you called it healing. I stay in the cult of psyche.
