[Intro – clean guitar, flanger, distant scream]
Yeah…
You taste like static and bad decisions
Turn the lights off—let’s make a religion
[Verse 1 – grungy, half-spoken]
Your lipstick’s smeared like a crime scene
Fingernails digging through cheap blue jeans
You say my name like it’s a sin
Then bite your lip and pull me in
Cigarette breath, breathin’ me out
I’m a bad habit you can’t go without
You say you’re holy, say you’re clean
But I see what you do when you’re alone with me
[Pre-Chorus – tension builds]
Don’t act shy when you’re shaking like that
You want the wolf, not the leash or the pact
[Chorus – explosive, Nirvana grit + metalcore punch]
So bleach your halo, get it dirty tonight
Claws on my back, yeah you love how it bites
Say you hate me while you pull me close
You want it rough, yeah, you want it gross
Bleach your halo—don’t lie to yourself
You like the taste of going straight to hell
[Verse 2 – heavier, distorted bass]
Bedroom’s spinning like a busted tape
Sweat dripping down, can’t feel my face
You ride the noise, you beg for more
Kick the door, let the neighbors know
You grind your teeth when you lose control
Say my name like you sold your soul
I’m your relapse, your guilty thrill
You keep coming back and you always will
[Pre-Chorus – screamed backing vocals]
Hands on my throat, eyes rolling back
You love the danger, love the attack
[Chorus – bigger, layered screams]
Bleach your halo, get it dirty tonight
You beg for heaven but you fuck like a fight
Say you hate me while you pull me close
You want it raw, yeah you want it close
Bleach your halo, crack the glass
You love the fall—you make it last
[Breakdown – full metalcore]
DOWN
Say you’re pure—
LIE
Say you’re mine—
BITE
Halo breaks—
GOOD
Get on your knees—
LOOK UP
[Heavy instrumental- heavy syncopated drums, chaotic, math-rock guitars, dark bass]
[Bridge – eerie, Nirvana-style calm]
After the noise, after the sin
You trace my scars with a crooked grin
Say you’re done, say “never again”
But your hands say different when the lights go dim
[Final Chorus – screamed + sung mix]
Bleach your halo, ruin the white
You look so good when you give up the fight
Pray in the dark, scream my name
You love the burn, you love the shame
Bleach your halo—don’t pretend
You’ll be back here again… and again… and again
[Outro – feedback, whispered]
Yeah…
You were never clean.
