04 VISUALS - A Pixel

Lyrics ✨

I used to drink the shadows
just to hear them say my name.
Let them carve their little hollows
in the places I felt shame.
They whispered like a promise,
they kissed me like a knife -
and I kept letting them rewrite
every corner of my life.

But the dark got tired of holding me,
and I got tired of hiding…
So I stepped out, shaking,
barefoot on the edge of my own timing.

And now the night tastes different…
there’s a sweetness in the air.
I’ve got scars where chains once settled,
but I’m lighter everywhere.
I’m not healed- 
I’m here.
And that feels like a miracle tonight.
Call it what you want…
I call it the aftertaste of light.

Some days I still feel hollow,
like my pulse forgot its beat.
Some hours feel like echoes
of the girl I used to meet.
But I hold her by the wrist now -
pull her gently toward the dawn.
Tell her: “Love, you’re not a burden.
You’re the reason I go on.”

Breaking isn’t failure…
quiet isn’t fear.
I learned that in the silence
when no one else was near.

And now the night tastes different…
there’s a sweetness in the air.
I’ve got scars where chains once settled,
but I’m lighter everywhere.
I’m not healed -
I’m here.
And that feels like a miracle tonight.
Call it what you want…
I call it the aftertaste of light.

I walked out of the ruins with trembling hands…
but damn - they’re mine
For the first time.
And that’s enough.
That’s enough
to keep going.

Now the night tastes different…
like the sky learned how to breathe.
I’m not running from the darkness-
it’s just running out of me.
I’m not healed -
I’m here.
And somehow that’s still shining bright.
Whatever this becoming is…
it’s the aftertaste of light.

Aftertaste of Light

Unrest
