[Intro]
Low sky
Red air
Teeth in the clouds
And they all stare
[Verse 1]
You fell from a coma of heaven
Black feathers stuck in your hands
You said
"Love is a loaded question"
Then carved my name into the sand
Concrete crown on your conscience
Ash in the back of your throat
You kiss like a funeral warning
You laugh like you’re ready to choke
[Chorus]
Dark angel
Drag me through the fire
Rip this rotten halo from my skull
I’m not afraid of your burning empire
Make this broken
Ugly world feel full
Dark angel
Tear into the sky
Crack the sun until it starts to bleed
If I’m gonna live
I’d rather die
Than worship what this world believes
[Verse 2]
You walk like a saint on a fault line
Boot prints splitting the stone
Your shadow’s a screaming cathedral
Every scream sounds like my own
You pray with your hands around my neck
Soft voice
Unforgiving grip
You say
"Hope is a painful instinct"
Then push me right over the lip
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I see the towers
Built from bones and glow
I see the liars
Selling saints for gold
You spread your wings
Over every sin I’ve sold
"Choose
" you whisper
"Rot or revolt"
[crescendo]
So cut me open
Carve your mark
Light my veins
Ignite the dark
If this is hell
Then let it start
I’ll wear your chaos like armor on my heart
[Chorus]
