[Verse 1]
Steel in my teeth
Blood on the brief
Clock on my neck
Tick loud, no peace
Dead eyes scrolling
Thumbs still voting
For a king with a rusted halo
Crowd still hoping
Boot prints
On the back of my doubt
Every scar in my file
Every X blacked out
You want calm?
I was built in a blackout
Bite down
Turn the pressure to a blackout
[Chorus]
I got a rusted halo
Bent crown, cut throat
Nails in my shadow
Drag me, I won’t choke
You want an angel?
I’m the crash in your sky
I got a rusted halo
And I swear I won’t die (won’t die)
[Verse 2]
Barbed-wire tongue
Every word draw streaks
Signed that deal
In the cracks of my cheeks
Whole world praying
To a screen on mute
I talk back
Kick teeth through the roots
Chain-link heartbeat
Rattling the ribs
Every “can’t” that you spit
That’s fuel for the sprint
You want quiet?
I got riots in my grip
You want silence?
Here—listen to the drip
[Chorus]
I got a rusted halo
Bent crown, cut throat
Nails in my shadow
Drag me, I won’t choke
You want an angel?
I’m the crash in your sky
I got a rusted halo
And I swear I won’t die (won’t die)
[Bridge]
Tear down idols
Brick by brick
I don’t fold
I fracture, fix
Breathe in fire
Spit back grit
You want out?
Jump, don’t slip (hey!)
[Chorus]
I got a rusted halo
Bent crown, cut throat
Nails in my shadow
Drag me, I won’t choke
You want an angel?
I’m the crash in your sky
I got a rusted halo
And I swear I won’t die (won’t die)
