let me shine that rusty halo

let me shine that rusty halo
put it away somewhere where
it'll stay clean and gold
and it'll show that I really was a good girl.

once.

let me put it somewhere where
it won't tell stories of how bad I was
how I wasn't able to stop being a bully
and stooping to their level.
i was a good girl.

once.

they can cry out for a saviour
i'll make sure that it never finds them
and i'll put on my halo
and pretend to help.
i was a good girl.

once.

i'm full of pride
but i'm also a fool
i believe that hiding my halo
will help me
but it just shows that i'm not a good girl

three things can never be long hidden:
the sun
the moon
and the truth.

and the truth is...
i'm a bad girl.

so when my halo rusts and cracks
the truth will be out
everyone will know i'm a bad girl
and i'll just have to live with that.


fin.
