Every Scar

[Verse 1] Empty pockets heavy heart Just a whisper in the dark Sunrise paints the broken glass This ain't no future built to last [Prechorus] But a spark still flickers low A stubborn little ember glow [Chorus] Oh, rusty halo, ring the bells I’ve been knocked around, I can tell Every crack, every scar Says I’ve made it this far Rusty halo, hold me tight I’m still standing in plain sight Hands worn thin, but I won’t fold This rough-edged life still hits gold [Verse 2] Tears like rivers down my face Lost my footing lost my place The world it tried to drag me down Another soul in this lonely town [Prechorus] But a fire deep inside Got nowhere left to run or hide [Chorus] Oh, rusty halo, ring the bells I’ve been knocked around, I can tell Every crack, every scar Says I’ve made it this far Rusty halo, hold me tight I’m still standing in plain sight Hands worn thin, but I won’t fold This rough-edged life still hits gold [Bridge] I’ve slept on couches, counted change Made a home out of hard, hard days If the roof leaks, let it pour I know how to build from what came before No saving grace, no polished shine Just a bruised-up beat that keeps its time [Prechorus] But a spark still flickers low A stubborn little ember glow [Chorus] Oh, rusty halo, ring the bells I’ve been knocked around, I can tell Every crack, every scar Says I’ve made it this far Rusty halo, hold me tight I’m still standing in plain sight Hands worn thin, but I won’t fold This rough-edged life still hits gold [Chorus] Oh, rusty halo, ring the bells I’ve been knocked around, I can tell Every crack, every scar Says I’ve made it this far Rusty halo, hold me tight I’m still standing in plain sight Hands worn thin, but I won’t fold This rough-edged life still hits gold
