# HALO FULL OF HOLES [VERSE 1] Sunburnt angels on a telephone wire, White lies sweating in a field of fire. Got a crooked little grin on a beautiful face, And a whole lotta nowhere running the place. Heat haze dancing on the hood of a wreck, Black clouds hanging like a noose on the neck. Everybody looks clean in the chemical light, Everybody's got a little dead behind their eyes. There's a voice in the static that knows what I did, Says the world ain't changed, just the mask that it hid. I keep looking for a sign in the cracks of the road— All I find is another way to carry the load. [PRE-CHORUS] So bury the bell, let the choir go blind, There's a crack in the heavens and a snake in the shine. If mercy's still breathing, it's running on fumes— I've been praying for rain in a house full of tombs. [CHORUS] Come on, dark star, swallow this sky, Take all the blue out and tell me goodbye. Wash these ghosts from the walls of my brain, Burn me clean in the beautiful rain. Come on, dark star, pull at the seams, Black out the world that's been haunting my dreams. If the light won't save me, let the whole thing fall— I don't need a heaven that won't hear me call. [VERSE 2] Old friends turn cold when the well runs dry, Truth wears a suit and the devil wears mine. Got a pocket full of nothing, got a head full of noise, Got a grown man's shadow and a dead kid's voice. The years move crooked like a drunk on a wire, Every fresh start feeds the old funeral pyre. I learned to grin when the bad news came, Make a joke of the wreckage, then sleep with the shame. There's a church on the hill with its windows nailed shut, A preacher sells hope while the floorboards rot. I ain't saying there's nothing beyond the veil— I'm just tired of buying what the living won't sell. [PRE-CHORUS] So bury the bell, let the choir go blind, There's a crack in the heavens and a snake in the shine. If mercy's still breathing, it's running on fumes— I've been praying for rain in a house full of tombs. [CHORUS] Come on, dark star, swallow this sky, Take all the blue out and tell me goodbye. Wash these ghosts from the walls of my brain, Burn me clean in the beautiful rain. Come on, dark star, pull at the seams, Black out the world that's been haunting my dreams. If the light won't save me, let the whole thing fall— I don't need a heaven that won't hear me call. [POST-CHORUS — HYPNOTIC, LAYERED VOCALS] Take it away... Take it away... All of the color, all of the shame. Take it away... Take it away... Leave me the truth when you leave me the rain. [INSTRUMENTAL — FUZZED GUITAR, WAH, FEEDBACK] [BREAKDOWN — LOW, ALMOST SPOKEN] Head hung low, let the fear run dry, Let the masks fall off, let the saints tell lies. When the whole world fades and the last lights die— Who's left underneath when there's nowhere to hide? [FINAL CHORUS — FULL, DISTORTED EXPLOSION] Come on, dark star, swallow this sky, Take all the blue out and tell me goodbye. Wash these ghosts from the walls of my brain, Burn me clean in the beautiful rain. Come on, dark star, pull at the seams, Black out the world that's been haunting my dreams. If the light won't save me, let the whole thing fall— I don't need a heaven that won't hear me call. [OUTRO — FRAYED, REPEATED VOCALS] Take it away... Or show me what's real. Take it away... I've forgotten how to feel. Take it away... Take it away...
