Verse 1
Red wine tears on a marble floor,
Saints keep count while I settle the score.
Velvet gloves with a sinner's grin,
The choir smiled as they let me in.
You kissed my halo into rust,
Turned every promise into dust.
Now every mirror knows my name,
And every prayer sounds just the same.
Pre-Chorus
Mercy never learned my face,
Heaven closed without a trace.
If love was holy, why'd it burn?
Tell me, where do monsters turn?
Chorus
Father, wash these crimson hands,
I built my throne on shattered plans.
The bells still ring, but not for me,
Only echoes in the sanctuary.
Cover me in candlelight,
Hide my soul from morning's eyes.
I'm no angel dressed in white—
I'm the fire they canonized.
Verse 2
Broken perfume, broken glass,
Ghosts applaud as strangers pass.
Every scar wears golden thread,
Every word you left unsaid.
Silk and smoke around my skin,
Can't tell where the loss begins.
Smile so cold it cracks the air,
Even silence says a prayer.
Bridge
If judgment comes, I'll raise my head,
Crown of roses painted red.
I was never made to kneel,
Only made to learn to heal.
The organ plays, the heavens shake,
Every vow was yours to break.
Leave my name inside the stone—
Some hearts survive by turning cold.
Final Chorus
Father, leave these haunted halls,
Don't answer every time I call.
If paradise won't open wide,
I'll bloom where every saint has died.
Ash to ash and flame to flame,
I forgive—but not your name.
When the last cathedral falls,
I'll still be standing through it all.
Outro
No halo.
No savior.
Just a heartbeat underneath the ruins...
Still refusing to disappear.
