[Verse 1]
I walk in with a borrowed halo, plastic shine on a poisoned crown
Sunday smile, but my blood runs fatal, every saint thought dragging down
You light candles in your serpent’s den, say a prayer with a forked tongue hiss
Tell me “bless me, fallen seraphim,” pull my mask off with a midnight kiss
[Pre-Chorus]
You trace the cracks in my porcelain grace
Lick the dust off the gold on my face
You say, “I only worship what can break”
So I let my hidden horns awake
[Chorus]
I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo
In your serpent’s den, I finally let ‘em show
You said, “angel, quit pretending you ain’t low”
So I bled on your altar just to watch you glow
You sink your teeth in every part I fake
Turn my stained-glass ribs into a cage you shake
I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo
But you kiss like you came here for the devil in my ….soul
[Verse 2]
You got scripture carved in collarbones, every verse is a sin you swore
Every “hallelujah” in your throat just drips gasoline on the floor
You wrap my halo in barbed wire hands, drag it down ‘til it cuts my skin
Whisper, “show me all the hell you hide, I’ll make a cathedral out of your …sin”
[Pre-Chorus]
You peel the white from my wolf disguise
Say, “no more mercy in those eyes”
You crown me king of the compromised
And bow to every truth I tried to hide
[Chorus]
I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo
In your serpent’s den, I finally let ‘em show
You said, “angel, quit pretending you ain’t low”
So I bled on your altar just to watch you glow
You sink your teeth in every part I fake
Turn my stained-glass ribs into a cage you shake
I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo
But you kiss like you came here for the devil in my …..soul
[Bridge – softer, then build]
On my knees in your pews made of venom
Hands together but I ain’t tryna bless ‘em
You say, “confess, let the blackness in”
So I let my demon breathe through my skin
If holiness is just costume seams
Rip ‘em open, let the redlight leak
If heaven’s just a lie we sell at the door
Then drag me to the back and lock it, I’m yours
[Breakdown – screamed]
Tear off the halo, let the horns burst through
If I’m your fallen thing, I fall for you
Seraph in chains in your serpent’s room
Turn my halo to a noose and I’ll still come ….back to you
[Final Chorus – bigger / last line twist]
I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo
In your serpent’s den, I finally let ‘em show
You said, “angel, quit pretending you ain’t low”
So I set fire to my mask just to watch you glow
You feast on every fracture in my faith
Turn my stained-glass ribs into a throne you take
I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo
Now I’m crowned in your poison and I like how it burns my ……….soul
