Concrete Halo

Verse 1
They see a smile painted on my face
But they don’t see the cracks in place
Every step feels like a lie
Wearing heaven as a disguise

Verse 2
Hands shake when the room gets quiet
Every thought starts up a riot
They think I’m strong enough to stand
But I’m sinking in this sand

Chorus
I’m wearing a concrete halo
Heavy on my head
Everybody thinks I’m heaven
But I’m barely not dead

Every prayer feels hollow
Every word unsaid
I’m wearing a concrete halo
While I’m breaking instead

Verse 3
The weight keeps pulling me below
But nobody ever knows

Bridge
Saints don’t walk through broken glass
But sinners never seem to last

Final Chorus
Concrete halo crushing down
Like a king without a crown
Everyone sees shining gold
But they never see the soul
