Glass Teeth Halo

I wore your heartbeat under my hoodie

Like a switchblade tucked against my ribs

Every hallway smelled like smoke and panic

And every mirror told me what I is

I got black-lung prayers and tired eyes

Cheap motel dreams and dead-end nights

You said, “Kid, don’t romanticize the damage”

But pain was all that kept me feeling alive

So cut me open

Watch the glitter spill

I’m all stitched up

But I’m still ill

Scream my name through the bathroom wall

While the sink still bleeds from the fall

I’m a cracked-out angel with glass teeth halos

Dancing through the fire in yesterday’s clothes

And if I disappear tonight

Just know I burned painfully bright

Like a matchstick funeral

A beautiful wreck in stereo

There’s mascara stains on the dashboard lights

And your ghost keeps riding in the backseat

I hear the sirens sing in harmony

Like they finally wrote a song for me

I was raised on slammed doors and silence

On swallowing words till they turned violent

Now every love song sounds like an apology

And every memory tastes metallic

So tear the speakers from the wall

I wanna feel something after all

Scream my name through the bathroom wall

While the sink still bleeds from the fall

I’m a cracked-out angel with glass teeth halos

Dancing through the fire in yesterday’s clothes

And if I disappear tonight

Just know I burned painfully bright

Like a matchstick funeral

A beautiful wreck in stereo

I’m not a saint

I’m not a savior

I’m just a kid with a deathwish flavor

And every scar becomes a constellation

When you’re desperate for transformation

So light me up

Like a last cigarette

Love me hardest when I’m hard to forget

Scream my name till your lungs collapse

Tell the reaper he can’t have me back

I’m a blacked-out choir in a burned-up chapel

Still chasing heaven with my hands full of gravel

And if the world goes dark tonight

I’ll be the static in your headlights

One last broken melody

Still bleeding out in harmony
