[Verse 1]
Cracked pill case
On the nightstand glass
Little white moons
Make the hours pass
TV glow
On your tired face
Every sharp edge
Softens out of place

[Chorus]
Orange halos
’round everything I feel
Like traffic cones
On wounds that never heal
I’m floating through
The wreckage of my day
Calm enough to function
Far enough to fade away

[Verse 2]
Messages pile
I don’t tap reply
Heartbeat quiet
Like it’s laying low to die
Sink in the couch
With the volume low
Laugh track playing
Where the tears should go

[Chorus]
Orange halos
’round everything I feel
Like traffic cones
On wounds that never heal
I’m floating through
The wreckage of my day
Calm enough to function
Far enough to fade away

[Breakdown]
Can’t taste coffee
Can’t feel sleep
Just this cotton
Wrapped around what’s deep
If I don’t flinch
Maybe I won’t break
If I stay numb
Maybe I won’t wake (oh)

[Chorus]
Orange halos
’round everything I feel
Safety glass
Between my mind and what is real
I’m walking through
The ruins of my brain
Call it medication
It’s an elegant escape from pain

[Outro]
One more swallow
Lights go low
I’m still moving
But I don’t really go
Orange halos
On the ceiling stain
Quiet as a whisper
Heavy as a train
