Shoulder Blades

[Intro]
(yeah)
Angel on the left side
Devil on the right side
Both of them are yelling
I just wanna flatline
[Verse 1]
Angel:
You’ve been breathing through the breakdowns
Sleeping in your same clothes, still you stayed around
Every time you crashed, you crawled back up
You’re not your past, you’re more than that cut
Devil:
Look at you, useless, scrolling through the ruins
Every shot you had, you blew it, kept losing
Say you want change but you love this cage
You’re a rerun, same script, same rage
Angel:
Nah
I’ve seen every time that he tried
Every night he almost died but he survived
He’s a flicker in the storm, not a fault line
Give him one more sunrise, he’ll be all right
Devil:
You’re a joke and your hope is a weak lie
All your friends moved on, they don’t reply
You ain’t healing, you’re hiding in your headphones
You ain’t flying, you’re falling through a trapdoor
[Pre-Chorus]
Angel:
You are not the sum of your bad days
You are not the voice in your bad brain
Devil:
You are every single promise that you never kept
Say you’re getting better but you haven’t yet
[Chorus]
Got an angel and a demon on my shoulder blades
One singing over scars, one spraying salt in the same old place
They’re screaming over me, I can’t hear my name
Am I worth saving
Or am I stuck in the shame?
Angel saying, “Breathe, you can change this phase”
Devil saying, “Bleed, you’ll just waste their faith”
I’m caught in the crossfire, standing in the flame
Angel and a demon, and they both
Sound like my brain
[Verse 2]
Devil:
Remember every time that you said you’d stay clean?
Woke up on the floor, broke phone, ripped jeans
You’re a playlist of apologies and bad dreams
Tried to be a saint but you’re stuck in the bad scenes
Angel:
He’s more than the bottles and the blackouts
More than the bedroom walls he blacked out
Yeah, he fell face-first in the same mess
But look at how he’s shaking while he sends that text
Devil:
Don’t text her, she’s better where she’s at now
You’ll just drag her in the dark, then you’ll back out
You’re contagious, every touch is a shutdown
Every love song turns into a letdown
Angel:
He’s learning to confess, that’s the first step
Hands still shaking but his heart’s got a firm grip
He’s a cracked glass, sure, but the light hits
Every little fracture, turns it into bright strips
[Pre-Chorus]
Angel:
You are not a burden they have to hold
You are someone worthy of growing old
Devil:
You’re the weight in the room every time you walk in
You’re the reason that the good ones stop calling
[Chorus]
Got an angel and a demon on my shoulder blades
One drawing out a map, one praying that I stay afraid
They’re screaming over me, I can’t hear my name
Am I worth saving
Or am I stuck in the shame?
Angel saying, “Breathe, you can change this phase”
Devil saying, “Bleed, you’ll just waste their faith”
I’m caught in the crossfire, standing in the flame
Angel and a demon, and they both
Sound like my brain
[Bridge]
[beat drops, guitars ring out]
Angel:
I see you shaking but you’re still here (still here)
Devil:
I see a failure in a cracked mirror (cracked mirror)
Angel:
You’re allowed to be lost and still steer
Devil:
You’re a car on fire headed straight off the pier
Angel:
Pick a side
Pick a line
You don’t have to die
To leave this life behind
Devil:
Pick a lie
Pick your poison
I am every quiet thought

rap, Hybrid emo-rap / pop-punk track with male vocals: half-time, blown-out rage drums and distorted 808s under dark, reverb-soaked guitars. Verses trade off “angel” and “devil” flows—angel in airy, melodic rap; devil in aggressive, clipping, double-time cadences. Pre-chorus strips to filtered bass and vocal stacks, then chorus explodes with shouted gang vocals, octave guitars, and slammed snare. Auto-tuned hook, occasional screamed harmonies, big dynamic swings and glitchy drops to mirror the inner conflict., pop punk, emo
