Rise or Fall

I hear them both when it’s quiet at night
One talks truth, one twisting it right
One says live, other whispers just fall
I’m stuck in the middle, I’m hearing it all
Knees to the floor but my mind still drifts
Hands to the sky but my soul won’t lift
Trying to hold on but I’m losing grip
Every step forward, I backslide quick
Devil keeps telling me look what you did
God keeps saying that’s not who you is
Past like chains I can’t undo
Future feels blurred, don’t know what’s true
Light in the distance, I reach, it fades
Darkness close, yeah it knows my ways
Two paths pulling me
One wants my soul, one setting me free
[Verse1]Angel on my shoulder, devil in my ear
One talks love, other feeding fear
Saying rise, other says just fall
Caught between the two, who do I call
Walking a line that’s razor thin
Trying to fight the dark within
Good intentions tangled in sin
Every time I lose, I dive back in
Pray at night, but I sin by day
Ask for guidance, drift away
Feel the light, but the dark feels strong
Know what’s right but still choose wrong
[Hook]God on one side, Lucifer calling me
Pulling at my soul, trying to control me
I don’t know which path I should take
Every step I choose feels like a mistake
Heaven feels close, then fades away
Hell gets louder every time I pray
I’m stuck in the middle, I can’t break free
It’s a war in my mind over me
[Verse2]Lucifer whisper, you already lost
Look at your past, count up the cost
God don’t want you, you too far gone
Stay in the dark, that’s where you belong
Then I hear truth cut through lies
Grace don’t fade, mercy don’t die
You still got breath, still got a chance
Stand back up, this ain’t your end
I’m torn in half, feel it daily
One side hate, one trying to save me
One says run, other says fight
One loves darkness, one brings light
[Bridge]If I fall will I rise again
If I break can I make amends
Is redemption real or in my head
Am I living life or already dead
[Verse3]I ain’t perfect, yeah I made mistakes
Carried that weight till my soul would break
But I refuse to let dark decide
Who I become or where I reside
Devil loud but truth stands firm
Every scar is a lesson learned
I might fall, but I won’t stay down
I’ll fight that voice till I take ground
I choose the light even when it’s hard
Even when I’m torn apart
Even when temptation pulls me low
I still got a choice and I let it show
[Final Hook]God on one side, Lucifer calling me
Pulling at my soul, trying to control me
But I see the path I was meant to take
Even if I fall, I won’t let it break me
[Outro] I hear them both, but I’m choosing now
No more drifting, I’m standing my ground
Past still heavy, but I won’t fold
Truth in my chest, I’m taking control
Devil whispers, I don’t respond
I know who I am, I know where I’m from
Every breath I take is a chance to change
Every step forward breaks a chain
I might fall, but I rise again
Darkness close, but the light stays near
Even in struggle, I keep it clear
If I fight, I fight to be free
Not who I was, but who I can be
