[Verse 1]
Smoke in my lungs
Ash on my tongue
I feel you
Footprints in blood
Dragged through the mud I came to
You in the ruin
Halo made of rust and wire
Black wings folded
Eyes like a burial pyre
[Chorus]
My dark angel in this world
Tearing halos off in handfuls
If I'm falling
Let me burn
You make the ending feel like home
My dark angel in this world
[Verse 2]
Teeth in the prayer
Ripped through the words they gave me
You said
"Stand up"
Kicked every crutch that saved me
Crowds throwing stones
You turned your back and faced them
One broken grin
Dared every god to take us
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You said
"Choose fear
Or choose the fire"
I chose your hands
On the funeral pyre
[build]
If this is wrong
Then carve it in bone
I’ll walk the plague
Just to call you my own
[Chorus]
