[Verse 1]
Lipstick on a paper cup
Reading fortunes in the coffee mud
You said “baby
You’re a massacre”
Then you laughed and dared me to draw blood
Cherry soda in a gasoline glass
You light matches just to watch me flinch
You keep halos in a body bag
Say “saints are only sinners at the brink”
[Chorus]
I’m your porcelain halo
Cracked at the crown
Still shining
Spin me round in your sideshow
Nails in my smile
Still smiling (oh)
Twist my wings till they break slow
You clap your hands when I’m crying
I’m your porcelain halo
Drop me just to hear me hit the floor
[Verse 2]
Tattooed hearts on a bathroom door
Every promise here was carved
Not sworn
You say love is like a loaded joke
Pull the punchline
Watch it misfire
Misform
Candy ring with a rusted edge
You cut diamonds out of old barbed wire
You kiss scars like a signature
Then you sell my pain like a church choir
[Chorus]
I’m your porcelain halo
Cracked at the crown
Still shining
Spin me round in your sideshow
Nails in my smile
Still smiling (yeah)
Twist my wings till they break slow
You clap your hands when I’m crying
I’m your porcelain halo
Drop me just to hear me hit the floor
[Bridge]
Are you happy now?
All dressed up in my damage (hey)
Wear my heartbreak like a gown
Drag it through your private wreckage
Call it romance
When you paint with every bruise
Take a bow
Take a bow
On a throne made of my screws
[Chorus]
I’m your porcelain halo
Cracked at the crown
Still shining
Spin me round in your sideshow
Nails in my smile
Still smiling
Twist my wings till they break slow
You clap your hands when I’m crying
I’m your porcelain halo
Drop me just to hear me hit the floor (one more)
I’m your porcelain halo
And you keep sweeping up the shards for more
