Midnight Halo

(Verse 1)
The city lights are blurring fast tonight
Another exit sign swallowed by the night
Got a phantom touch, still feel it on my skin
Chasing after a high where you've already been.
Headlights flash across your face in the glass
Wondering how long this feeling's gonna last
'Cause the silence now is louder than the sound
Of all the empty promises we drowned.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know, I know, I know it's a mistake
Every single time, the same heart you break.
But the air is thin, and I can't catch my breath
Dancing with the devil, scared of what comes next.
(Chorus)
Oh, you're my midnight halo, a dangerous glow
The only kind of heaven that I'll ever know
Another hit, another low, where did the feeling go?
In this blinding rush, we're all alone, oh, oh.
Lost inside the afterglow, we'll never let it go
Caught in the fade, in the midnight halo.
(Verse 2)
The club is closed, but the rhythm’s in my head
Replaying all the toxic words you never said.
A silhouette outline in the dark night, so cold
A perfect empty story that's already been told.
Used to hold you down, we got used to doin without 
Now I'm wide awake while my whole world’s around.
Don't you do your makeup, kiss me while we lay down
'Cause the morning comes too fast in this empty town.
(Bridge)
We build this house on smoke and lies
Staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
It's a beautiful descent, a tragic fall
Addicted to the pain, answering the call.
Is this all we are? Just scars in the dark?
A temporary fix to mend a broken heart.
(Chorus)
Oh, you're my midnight halo, a dangerous glow
The only kind of heaven that I'll ever know
Another hit, another low, where did the feeling go?
In this blinding rush, we're all alone, oh, oh.
Lost inside the afterglow, we'll never let it go
Caught in the fade, in the midnight halo.
(Outro)
Midnight halo... the feeling's gone
We keep on running till the break of dawn.
We're so gone, so gone, we're so gone now
No turning back, lost in the sound...
