Broken String Halo

[Verse 1]
Burned-out fuse
In my rib cage
Every word you said
Still a dull blade
Tongue like sand
In a dry mouth
You walked backwards
Then just phased out
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you plan this slow collapse
Or did we just forget the map
[Chorus]
You cut my wings
Left the halo hanging (hanging)
Bent halo
But I’m still standing (still here)
I gave you everything
You left me hollow
You broke my faith
But my veins still follow
I won’t break
I won’t break
Under your broken string halo
[Verse 2]
Warped old frame
On the same wall
All our summer plans
Looking so small
You said “forever”
Like a cheap dare
Tore the page out
Left it blank air
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise turned to ash
But I crawled out of the crash
[Chorus]
You cut my wings
Left the halo hanging (hanging)
Bent halo
But I’m still standing (still here)
I gave you everything
You left me hollow
You broke my faith
But my veins still follow
I won’t break
I won’t break
Under your broken string halo
[Bridge]
Did you ever mean it
Tell me
Did you even feel it
Or was I just sound in your ears
Background to your disappearing
[Chorus]
You cut my wings
Left the halo hanging (hanging)
Bent halo
But I’m still standing (still here)
I gave you everything
You left me hollow
You broke my faith
But my veins still follow
I won’t break
I won’t break
Under your broken string halo (yeah)
I won’t break
I won’t break
Under your broken string halo

Chorus explodes into wide stereo power chords and soaring octave leads, with shouted gang backups on key phrases. Brief post-chorus riff hook, drums leaning on open hats and crashes. Bridge strips to toms and octave melody before a final, higher-key chorus., male vocals, emo, soaring
