Rust on the Halo
by DmTooL
Lyrics
Verse 1
Ashtray on the windowsill
Coffee gone cold
Bills on the floor
Your jacket still hangs on the door
Like it’s waiting for a war
Chorus
There’s rust on the halo
Dust on every prayer I made
I scrape at the gold
But it won’t show
Guess some saints just fade
There’s rust on the halo
Over my unmade bed
If you’re still up there
Say so
Or get out of my head
Verse 2
Mirror’s got a cracked-out smile
Shows me every bad year twice
Tried to wash your name off my hands
Just smeared it like cheap white lies
Chorus
There’s rust on the halo
Dust on every prayer I made
I scrape at the gold
But it won’t show
Guess some saints just fade
There’s rust on the halo
Over my unmade bed
If you’re still up there
Say so
Or get out of my head
Bridge
I tore down your postcards
Set fire to your face
But your voice lives in the drywall
Your ghost knows this place (yeah)
Chorus
There’s rust on the halo
Dust on every prayer I made
I scrape at the gold
But it won’t show
Guess some saints just fade
There’s rust on the halo
Over my unmade bed
If you’re still up there
Say so
Or get out of my head
