From the recording Mechanical Heart
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up with
Blood on my teeth
Bit down on the lies
You fed me in my sleep
Cracked mirror
Cuts up my face
I keep tracing the scars
Like a map of my mistakes
[Chorus]
I got rust on my halo
Ash in my lungs
Every prayer that I swallowed
Turned my tongue numb
If I burn, then I burn
Let the whole sky know
I was never your angel
Just rust on my halo
[Verse 2]
You carved your
Name in my throat
Called it a promise
I called it a choke
Pulled your threads
Through my veins
Now every heartbeat
Spits out your name
[Chorus]
I got rust on my halo
Ash in my lungs
Every prayer that I swallowed
Turned my tongue numb
If I burn, then I burn
Let the whole sky know
I was never your angel
Just rust on my halo
[Bridge]
Tear out these feathers
They’re just lead in disguise (hey!)
Saint in your stories
But a curse in your eyes
I’m done playing statue
On your crooked throne
If I’m falling from heaven
I’ll aim for your home (yeah)
[Chorus]
I got rust on my halo
Ash in my lungs
Every prayer that I swallowed
Turned my tongue numb
If I burn, then I burn
Let the whole sky know
I was never your angel
Just rust on my halo
