Rust on the Halo

You said “forever” in a borrowed jacket

Ash on your tongue

Eyes full of static

I held my breath like it was sacred

You held the match behind your back

You carved our names in the underside

Of the desk where we used to hide

Guess you were just rehearsing lies

While I was learning how to trust

You put rust on the halo

Blood in the blessing

Cracks in the faith

Turned my open hands into broken chains

You were the blade in my shadow

Swore you were saving me

Dragging me down

Now every promise just tastes like poison in my mouth

You wore my secrets like a trophy necklace

Every little truth turned into a weapon

Laughing in rooms I hadn’t walked into yet

I heard my name and it shook my chest

You called it love when you crossed that line

Said you were “honest

” you were just unkind

You left me drowning in the thin excuse

That “I hurt you

But I loved you too”

You put rust on the halo

Blood in the blessing

Cracks in the faith

Turned my open hands into broken chains

You were the blade in my shadow

Swore you were saving me

Dragging me down

Now every promise just tastes like poison in my mouth

Tore out the pages

Burned every prayer

If this is devotion

I don’t want it anywhere

You haunt every mirror

But I’m not your ghost

You made me a victim

I’ll make you a toast (yeah)

You put rust on the halo

Blood in the blessing

Cracks in the faith

Turned my open hands into broken chains

You were the blade in my shadow

Swore you were saving me

Dragging me down

I’m spitting your poison

I’m shouting you out

I lift up the curse and I walk right through the sound (hey!)
