[Intro]
Teeth on the curb of my own pride
White noise crawling up my spine
Busted halo hanging in my room
Can’t tell if I’m a weapon or a wound
[Verse 1]
Mama said
boy, you always loved the crash
Turn every little feeling
to a car alarm blast
All this rust on my halo
still shine when it flash
I been digging in the pain
like I’m mining out cash
Cold plate on the counter
didn’t finish my plate
Got a text from my past
said she missing my weight
Not the body, but the burden
that I carried in late
I was laughing in the dark
now I’m staring at fate
[Chorus]
Rust on my halo
bent but it don’t break though
Screaming in the background
heart on the payload
If I burn out slow
let the whole world know
I was heavy, I was hollow
still I never let go
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I’m back on that backroad mind
Red dirt heart with a black coat grind
Double-time breath when the bad thoughts climb
Whole life sitting on a landmine line
Every eight steps
hear the crack in the frame
Little stutter in the beat
like it’s saying my name
When the keys start crying
I be drowning in blame
But the hook pull me up
like I’m tied to the pain
I’ve been praying to a ceiling fan
spinning that slow
Watching shadows on the drywall
fighting my ghost
If my scars had a choir
they’d be singing off-key
But they still hit hard
when they echo in me
[Chorus]
