"Broken Halo" lyrics - BARONESS

BARONESS
"Broken Halo"
(John Dyer Baizley / Baroness)

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

[Chorus:]
Gold and grey
Your eyes were gold and grey
And I would do anything
To feel like I'm on fire again

[Post-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
Cold and grey
Your eyes were cold and grey
I would do anything
To feel like I'm on fire again

[Post-Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
I hope your eyes are black on fire

[Outro:]
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
