SPILL THE HALO
VERSE 1 Across a glass horizon, my reflection’s bleeding light Gold curdled into shadow where the truth once learned to fight All the saints I glued together cracked their bones in flight I saw the angel leak its halo — then it laughed at night PRE-CHORUS 1 Don’t tell me grace is earned It’s borrowed from the burn Now every fault I bore Is the flame that learned to roar CHORUS Spill the halo — let it shatter, watch the kingdom fall Ashes echo — we rebuild after we break it all I am not the fear you bred, I am the storm unmapped Spill the halo — feel the thunder crack VERSE 2 We wrote poems on the ceiling with the words we never said Truth had teeth — it tasted bitter in the mouths it fed You told me light would save us — it just mocked the things we bled Now every “why” I failed to ask is a code I read instead PRE-CHORUS 2 Not here for mercy’s script I’m the cut that learns to split Every doubt you scribed Just taught lightning how to write CHORUS Spill the halo — let it shatter, watch the kingdom fall Ashes echo — we rebuild after we break it all I am not the fear you bred, I am the storm unmapped Spill the halo — feel the thunder crack “Hey! All you monsters out there — from the third row to the pit — WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE IF YOU’RE NOT SCREAMING?!” “SPILL THE HA-LO! SPILL THE HA-LO! SPILL THE HA-LO!” “That’s right! IF YOU’RE NOT SINGING — YOU’RE NOT LIVING IT! C’MON — SPILL THE HALO!” “SPILL THE HA-LO! SPILL THE HA-LO! SPILL THE HA-LO!” CHORUS Spill the halo — watch the giants hum and fall Ashes echo — louder than the lies you called I am not the fear you bred, I am the storm unmapped Spill the halo — feel the thunder crack BRIDGE In the ruins of the angels’ mouths I built a fire out of gilded doubts Every scar a compass now I’ll find tomorrow by the way it shouts Spill the halo — bleed the halo — Every wound’s a promise strapped FINAL CHORUS Spill the halo — watch the giants hum and fall Ashes echo — louder than the lies you called I am not the fear you bred, I am the storm unmapped Spill the halo — feel the thunder crack
