[Verse 1]
You wear a cross like chrome
Then kick the door at the strangers
Talk about “love” on Sunday
Then point at the ones you fear
You clap for the locked-up border
But pray with a pocket of lies
Smile for the camera, baby
Then feed on the weak and denied
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “save us”
From a face you never met
You say “clean us”
While your hands stay full of debt
But the mask cracks
When the truth walks in
[Chorus]
False halo, false halo
I see the fire in your grin
False halo, false halo
You fear what you can’t control
False halo, false halo
Your holy act is wearing thin
False halo, false halo
We cut the act, we cut the role
[Verse 2]
You want one book, one color
One voice in the church pew row
But heaven ain’t a locked gate
For the ones you told to go
You flinch at trans kids laughing
You spit on the tired and poor
Then ask for a crown in daylight
Like hypocrisy’s not a chore
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “pray now”
Like a blade wrapped in a hymn
You say “good now”
While you worship fear and win
But the mask cracks
When the truth walks in
[Chorus]
False halo, false halo
I see the fire in your grin
False halo, false halo
You fear what you can’t control
False halo, false halo
Your holy act is wearing thin
False halo, false halo
We cut the act, we cut the role
[Bridge]
No, you don’t own the altar
No, you don’t own the sky
No, you don’t get to bless hate
And call it by-and-by
We know the shape of mercy
It opens, it does not slam
If your faith needs a scapegoat
That faith was built on sand
[Final Chorus]
False halo, false halo
I see the fire in your grin
False halo, false halo
You fear what you can’t control
False halo, false halo
Your holy act is wearing thin
False halo, false halo
We cut the act, we cut the role
[Outro]
False halo
We see through you
False halo
We see through you
