Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Used to think you were an angel, now I see the truth
Your halo's turned to rust, corroded by your youth
Every promise that you made was just another lie
Now I'm picking up the pieces while you say goodbye
Saint turned to sinner right before my eyes
Golden wings were painted, now I realize
Built you up so high, put you on a throne
Now I'm left here in the wreckage, broken and alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm breaking down, breaking down
Your rusted halo's falling now
Can't save us from the ground
[Chorus]
Your rusted halo crashes down tonight
Everything we had just fades from white to grey
I believed in you, thought you were my light
But angels fall and halos rust away
Now I'm drowning in the ashes of your grace
Nothing left but the bitter aftertaste
[Female Vocal Hooks throughout chorus]
(Rusted, rusted, your halo's rusted through)
(Falling, falling, what happened to you?)
[Verse 2]
Worshipped at your altar but the deity was fake
Every sacred vow you made was destined just to break
Oxidized devotion, tarnished by your touch
Gave you everything I had, guess it wasn't enough
Now your wings are clipped and grounded in the dirt
Heavenly illusion turned to earthly hurt
Strip away the shine and all that's left is pain
Your rusted halo's evidence of love gone down the drain
[Bridge]
Once you were divine, now you're just hollow
Just hollow, just hollow
Your rusted halo's too heavy to follow
To follow, to follow
[Final Chorus]
