[Verse 1]
Burned-through jacket
Name tag torn
Cheap ink numbers
On my arm like thorns
Kicked in doors
On my own front porch
I was born in the back of a
Rolling storm
[Chorus]
I wear rust on my halo
Dirt on my knees
Saint of the screw-ups
Patron of grief
If I go down
I go faithful
To every mistake I keep
I wear rust on my halo
Let it shine when I bleed
[Verse 2]
Coffee gone cold
Ash in the lid
Mouth full of gravel
Every word I bit
Mirror cracks back
Shows the mess I am
Still I lace my boots
For another stand
[Chorus]
I wear rust on my halo
Dirt on my knees
Saint of the screw-ups
Patron of grief
If I go down
I go faithful
To every mistake I keep
I wear rust on my halo
Let it shine when I bleed
[Bridge]
If there’s a heaven
Built for the broken
Save me a seat
With the lights all smoking
I’ll bring my guilt
Like a crown
Like a chain
(Yeah)
Kiss the ground
And rise again
[Chorus]
I wear rust on my halo
Dirt on my knees
Saint of the screw-ups
Patron of grief
If I go down
I go faithful
To every mistake I keep
I wear rust on my halo
Let it shine when I bleed
