Dark Halo

"Dark Halo" Don’t look so surprised… You said I had a light in me Guess you just saw what you need Every word you made me be Was never really me You call it wrong — I call it real You call it cold — I just don’t feel The way you want — the way you need I won’t fake what I can’t be You want clean — I come undone You want truth — I give you none I got a dark halo — can’t wash it off You see the glow — but it’s not what you want Say I’m too much — say I’m not enough I wear it like I don’t give a fuck Dark halo — over my head You call it wrong — I call it honest instead You want heaven — I don’t go I walk my own with a dark halo You tried to shape me into light Cut the parts you didn’t like But every piece you pushed away Is everything I am today No confession — no regret I don’t owe you innocence You wanted clean — you got the truth I’m not your version of proof You want pure — I never was You want safe — I don’t adjust I got a dark halo — can’t wash it off You see the shine — but it’s not what you thought Say I’m too far — say I’m too lost I wear it like I don’t feel the cost Dark halo — over my head You call it wrong — I call it honest instead You want heaven — I don’t go I walk my own with a dark halo Maybe I was never meant… To be what you invent… I don’t need to be forgiven For the way I’m living I got a dark halo — let it show It’s not a flaw — it’s all I know Say I’m too much — I won’t change I’m not here to be your safe Dark halo — over my head You call it wrong — I call it truth instead You want heaven — I let it go I found my own in the dark halo
