Razor Halo Broken

You walked around like a holy terror
preaching how you carried the weight
While everyone else was just drifting
coasting on your wake, Meanwhile I hauled your trash
covered your tracks, lied till my tongue went numb
Waiting for a thank you that was never gonna come. You played the savior while drinking us dry
throwing shells down the stairs

Strutting away while the rest of us choked on your flares.
You wrapped guilt like a wire around my throat
said I was zero without your hand
Turned my soft heart into supply for your personal brand
Said I owed you my soul for dragging me out of that back room
Nineteen and half-dead
just a new servant for you to groom.

You polished your image on my knees
Using my hurt to do as you please
That shining circle over your head Was just razor wire painted red.
Razor halo broken, spinning blades around your head
Every cut you dealt comes back to paint the floorboards red
If I bleed out tonight, you’re coming down in the mud
We go down together, tied in rings of wire and blood.

I started dropping hints
tried to peel the foil off your grin
Tried to let the light hit the rot crawling underneath the skin
You told the room I was bitter
said my rage was a twisted grief
But lies rot in the sunlight
and your time is getting brief

Now they look at their scars and trace every line
Straight back to your crime.
No more whispers, no more hoping you might change
I shove that halo down your throat and hook it to the chains
I stand in the circle with you, no exit sign
We walk out in ruins or we die on the line.

Razor halo broken, spinning blades around your head
Every cut you dealt comes back to paint the floorboards red
If I bleed out tonight, you’re coming down in the mud
We go down together, tied in rings of wire and blood.
You wanted worship, you get the fist, No robes
no light, just this
You raised that ring above the mist

Now choke on its kiss.
