[Verse 1]
Teeth in the carpet
Blood on the glass
You said we’re chosen
I just laughed
Kicked in the altar
Prayers in a pile
You sold me heaven
For a crooked smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Every blessing
Came with chains
You called it mercy
I called it pain (yeah)
[Chorus]
Rotten halo
Digging in my skull
Crown of rust
Turning every thought dull
You made salvation
Feel like a chokehold
Rotten halo
Heavy and ice-cold
[Verse 2]
Ash in the kitchen
Smoke in my lungs
You wrote commandments
On the tip of your tongue
You fed me poison
Sweet on the edge
Said “this is holy”
Pushed me off the ledge
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scripture
Cut my veins
You called it order
I called it chains (chains)
[Chorus]
Rotten halo
Digging in my skull
Crown of rust
Turning every thought dull
You made salvation
Feel like a chokehold
Rotten halo
Heavy and ice-cold
[Bridge]
I tear it off
Skin comes too
If this is grace
I’m done with you
[Chorus]
Rotten halo
Digging in my skull
Crown of rust
Turning every thought dull
You made salvation
Feel like a chokehold
Rotten halo
Heavy and ice-cold (so cold)
