Handed in My Halo

In my youth I was so easily convicted
By the jury in my head
I was told it was a sin to live life unscripted
Now I improvise instead

Harking back to when I handed in my halo
Shed the guilt I'd learned so young
Used to drown in holy water cause they said so
But with your breath in my lungs
I’ve learned to love who I've become

Since my youth I’d been conditioned to feel worthless
Kept my voice inside my mouth
Always wondered if I’d ever break the surface
'Til you finally dragged me out

Harking back to whеn I handed in my halo
Shed the guilt I'd lеarned so young
Used to drown in holy water cause they said so
With your breath in my lungs
I’ve learned to love who I've become

It’s not too late to make your errors
Not too late to learn from them
It’s not too late to face your terrors
And find a box to lock them in
And you don’t have to be your father
You don’t have to learn his hymn
You can live just like your mother
Find the sympathy within

Harking back to when I handed in my halo
Shed the guilt I'd learned so young
Used to drown in holy water cause they said so
But with your breath in my lungs
I’ve learned to love who I've become
With your breath in my lungs
I’ve learned to love who I've become
