WHERE HALOS GO TO DIE

Verse 1

I know where all the halos fall

Not to heaven, not to hell, just sand

Where no one prays, where no one calls

Where prayers rust like steel on land

Wind carries them like leaves after war

No glow, no choir, no gates anymore

Pre-Chorus

And I saw them lying silent

Gold covered in dust

Chorus

That's where halos go to die

Where dust covers gold

That's where I learned

Holiness is just cold mud

That's where halos go to die

And no one cries

Verse 2

I searched for them in churches and on maps

In books where God was always right

But they lie on that island

Where no one puts crosses out of pride

Every halo is someone's promise

That turned out too heavy to hold

Bridge

Maybe mine lies there too

From the day I took it off myself

It didn't fall, I threw it

Cause it burned my forehead

Final Chorus

That's where halos go to die

Where dust covers gold

That's where I stay

Cause that's my mud

My home
