broken halo

she is the deepest ocean

that i could hope to drown in

if my iron wings should break again

i hope i'd fly into your eyes

cold and grey

your eyes were cold and grey

i would do anything

to feel like i'm on fire again

i wouldn't hold my breath and stop the tide from rising

i'd open up my lungs

let me hold your salt and sorrow in place

like a wind that never breaks

i would tear my heart out

i'd walk a thousand crooked miles

then i'd start a fire

turn the world to flame

to watch it shining in your eyes

cold and grey

your eyes were cold and grey

i would do anything

to feel like i'm on fire again

i won't close my eyes to keep the sun from rising

i'll hold them open wide

let me hold your broken halo inside

like a sun that never shines

i hope your eyes

are black on fire

let me hold the salt and sorrow in place

where the waves will never break

let me hold your broken halo

where the sunlight never shines
