Halo Lyrics

You said you'd pass your halo to me

Your love would show me the girl that I ought to be

What a dream

After the crowning ceremony

You slipped it over my head like a noose

Til I could not breathe

"Behave or I'll leave"

Your halo became a leash

You loved me in screams

Said "you're safe here; you'll be my queen"

And I believed

I built you a kingdom from unturned stones

But my heart is no one's if not my own

And my back won't be your throne

This is no salvation, this is no truth

You never loved me; it was a ruse

Just to soothe your blackened wounds

I won't be a disciple for your disease

Your hunting trophy; your effigy

I must be free

You said you'd pass your halo to me

I was your paper doll, crumpled in a ball at your feet

But I'm not more garbage for you to keep
