How Your Halo Fell
You wake up in the morning
You punch the clock before you ever rub your eyes
And all the breath you're taking in is spent up on
Some distant longing sigh
Remember when we traded in
Our dreams for drabbest gray?
For dresses and these stupid suits and ties?
I know that you've had enough
I know that we've both grown up
But something sweet inside of you has died
I know how your halo fell
I saw you bid your heart farewell
You sealed your lips, you'd never tell
But I know how your halo
Down, town, is miserable, blocking out these periwinkle skies
And somewhere in the midst of this you bite
Your lip and say your sad goodbyes
I am not the best with words
I wish I had a better speech
I know that there's all the reason in the world for you to hate me
Corazon
This Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ
It tells you that He loves you more
Than thirst compels us all to ever wet our lips
If you could only hear
Listen
