Bleeding Halo

[Verse 1]
You’re shaking in the hallway
Phone light on your face
His name keeps lighting up
Like it owns this place
He’s laughing through the speaker
Like it’s all a game
Says he’ll come and take you
Says I’m just in the way

[Chorus]
I will save you from my brother
Even if it tears me in two
Trade every piece of my mind
Just to keep him far from you
If I gotta be the monster
So your hands stay clean and whole
I will save you from my brother
While my halo bleeds in my skull

[Verse 2]
Staring at my knuckles
Red against the sink
His voice inside my ribcage
Won’t let me think
He taught me how to hurt things
Long before I knew your name
Now every time I hold you
I feel his shadow in my veins

[Chorus]
I will save you from my brother
Even if it tears me in two
Trade every piece of my mind
Just to keep him far from you
If I gotta be the monster
So your hands stay clean and whole
I will save you from my brother
While my halo bleeds in my skull

[Bridge]
How do I outrun our bloodline?
How do I unlearn his smile?
Every day a quiet landslide
Slipping further from myself
Mile by mile (oh)
I see you reaching for my shoulder
Your voice says I’m still yours
But I’m drowning in the mirror
And I don’t know who I’m for

[Chorus]
I will save you from my brother
Even if it tears me in two
Trade every piece of my mind
Just to keep him far from you
If I gotta be the monster
So your hands stay clean and whole
I will save you from my brother
While my halo bleeds in my skull

[Outro]
Hold me while I’m fading
Name the colors I can’t see
If I give away my sanity
Promise you’ll remember me
I’ll save you from my brother
Even if it’s killing me slow
Till there’s nothing left but your heartbeat
And a cracked and burning soul
