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
