Rusted Halo

[Verse 1] Teeth on the curb of a workday morning Screen-light burning my eyes Clock keeps cutting the hours in pieces Boss still selling me lies I drag my chain through the subway doorway Name tag Coffee Regret Every step like a rusted heartbeat Every breath a blood-red debt [Chorus] Rusted halo Bent out of shape I wear it like a crown of shame If this is holy Let it break I’m done I’m done being saved Rusted halo Slipping again I’m carving out my own escape If this is mercy Let it fade I’m done I’m done being saved [Verse 2] Newsfeed feeding me staged explosions “Buy more Feel less Stay calm” Neighbors nodding with vacant faces Sleepwalk straight to the bomb I bite my tongue till the flavor’s metal Hands shake Ready to snap Every rule like a loaded weapon Every “sir” another slap [Chorus] Rusted halo Bent out of shape I wear it like a crown of shame If this is holy Let it break I’m done I’m done being saved Rusted halo Slipping again I’m carving out my own escape If this is mercy Let it fade I’m done I’m done being saved [Bridge] [Glitching Industrial break Guttural growls under crushed vocal] Stand in the line Smile on command Sign on the line Give them your hands Grind up your time Feed them your spine You are the product Rot in the shrine (hey!) [Chorus] Rusted halo Bent out of shape I wear it like a crown of shame If this is holy Let it break I’m done I’m done being saved Rusted halo Bleeding today I’m burning through the mask you made If this is mercy Let it fade I’m done I’m done being saved (being saved)
