Rust On Haloes

[Verse 1]
Ash in the sink
Coffee gone cold on the floor
You stare at the crack in the ceiling
Like it’s some kind of door

Curtains won’t move
Dust dancing slow in the air
You said you were fine in a whisper
But no one was there

[Chorus]
Rust on haloes
Bent-out nails in the wall
We built a church out of bad days
Watched every stone fall
If this is grace
It tastes like rain
On cigarettes and blame
Rust on haloes
But you still say my name

[Verse 2]
Burned out film
All of our summers run black
Your jacket still hangs by the closet
Like you might come back

I talk to the void
It answers in echoes of you
Every apology heavy
Like wet
Muddy boots

[Chorus]
Rust on haloes
Bent-out nails in the wall
We built a church out of bad days
Watched every stone fall
If this is grace
It tastes like rain
On cigarettes and blame
Rust on haloes
But you still say my name (my name)

[Bridge]
Did we crack
Or were we always broken?
Every promise
Just another token?
You carved hope
In the back of my hand
Now the letters just bleed
When I try to stand

[Instrumental Break]
[Dual electric guitars erupt into a harmonized solo over pounding drums
Rolling bongos
And cavernous piano hits
Trading lines then climbing to a screaming unison bend]

[Chorus]
Rust on haloes
Bent-out nails in the wall
We built a church out of bad days
Watched every stone fall
If this is grace
It tastes like rain
On cigarettes and blame
Rust on haloes
But you still say my name (say my name)
(Still say my name)
