"Halo" lyrics

Get up, let's go for a ride
Got my halo on the other side
Say you'll stay, stay out of sight
Got my halo on the other side
Keep trying, sharpen the knife
The very same one, to make it right
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Got my halo on the other side

Can you sing the truth of love
When it still stings?
Or understand a broken heart
When the phone's no longer ringing?

Chaos, creation, and blight
Got my halo on the other side
Learned my lesson casting pearls to swine
Left my sickbed, fled out and took flight
Burned up, glowing from the light
Show me the way out of this long night

Can you sing the truth of love
When it still stings?
Or understand a broken heart
When the phone's no longer ringing?
What does loving even mean
When there's no air to breathe in?
The truth is just a dream
Long forgotten

I swim the depths of your waters
The grief and the honor
I've paid my debts
But the world keeps on creeping and crawling
Like some kind of test to see how long it
Can pull me back
There's nowhere left just
To be oneself in safety

A pale cast, a sickly sight
Got my halo on the other side
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Got my halo on the other side
