Rust-Tasted Halo

[Verse 1]
Bite marks on my fingers
From dialing your name
You come in like a fever
Burn holes through my veins
Empty pill on the nightstand
You in my bloodstream still
You’re the scar that keeps reopening
The wound that loves the thrill
[Chorus]
You’re my pain
Love
Drug
I’m crawling back again (again)
Every hit
Every hug
Is gasoline and rain
I keep choking on your halo
Rust and sugar on my tongue
You’re my pain
Love
Drug
And I can’t spit you out
I’m spun (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Cold sweat on the bedsheet
Your echo in my jaw
Every kiss was a car crash
Slow motion
Made of glass and awe
You say I’m sick and you’re sorry
But you pour another dose
I keep shaking
Keep mistaking
You for something holy
Close
[Chorus]
You’re my pain
Love
Drug
I’m crawling back again (again)
Every hit
Every hug
Is gasoline and rain
I keep choking on your halo
Rust and sugar on my tongue
You’re my pain
Love
Drug
And I can’t spit you out
I’m spun
[Bridge]
Rip you out of my teeth
But the taste stays the same
I am breaking the mirror
Still it spells out your name
[Chorus]
You’re my pain
Love
Drug
I’m crawling back again (again)
Every hit
Every hug
Is gasoline and rain
I keep choking on your halo
Rust and sugar on my tongue
You’re my pain
Love
Drug
I’ll burn you out
Or be undone

metal, Modern metal with down-tuned guitars, double-kick bursts, and snarling male vocals that flip into soaring melodic hooks; verses stay tight and chugging with pick scrapes and dissonant chords, chorus widens into epic open chords and layered gang shouts, bridge drops to half-time crush then returns with a final, cathartic scream-and-sing outro
