Yesterday you left me in disguise, with a shadow over my head
And I don’t know but I still wonder why
I can’t escape all they said
I lift my head but it’s still hanging down
And I fall away into black
They kick and scream and leave you without a sound
And I dreamt I clawed my way back
Just rip it up to bleed out, and I know it’s so loud
When I drop the halo down
This time I know you sold out, and it brings me so down
When the halo comes around
The shadow turned and took me for a ride
And it cost me all that I had
It paid my way and left me to decide if I want to stay where I am
I don’t know what I have left to lose
So I decided to leave it alone
Shined a light but then we tripped a fuse
And I still can’t find my way home
Just rip it up to bleed out, and I know it’s so loud
When I drop the halo down
This time I know you sold out, and it brings me so down
When the halo comes around
Be careful what you wish for
Because it leads to so much more
Of all the things that bring you down
You memorize the Art of War
But you don’t believe in what it’s for
Now everything is coming down
Just rip it up to bleed out, and I know it’s so loud
When I drop the halo down
This time I know you sold out, and it brings me so down
When the halo comes around
