Halo
Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's pure inside
Everyday, every way I smell of suicide
Bitter sins how they grow within
So you tell me it ain't right
I am, all sins
And you're my reason for life
Wrap my arms around you
I will stone you,stone you
My little HALO
I'm the man,I'm the king,I'm the one
That's broken from giving
Everyday, every way I swear just one last try
Killing me with the death to be
Something that's so right
I am all sins
My hands are scarred with time
Feel through my eyes
I'm the man with the rock in his hand, got
the rock in my hand gonna stone you stone you
Make a change, gotta rearrange
Idle minds,crushing time
I am all sins
And you're the reason for life
