Between Peace and Ruin

[Verse 1]
Teeth on the trigger of my tongue
Calm in my chest, but my hands still drum
Praying in a room that smells like war
Halo on the floor by the broken door
[Chorus]
I’m between peace and ruin
Can’t tell which side I’m choosing
Angel on my back, demon in my veins
Both of them calling my name
I’m between peace and ruin
Heart still beating through it
If I burn, if I break, if I never change
I’ll be standing in the middle of the flame
[Verse 2]
Eyes say “breathe,” but my pulse says “run”
Laugh in the dark at the damage I’ve done
Silence in my head like a held back scream
Balance on the blade of a dead-end dream
[Chorus]
I’m between peace and ruin
Can’t tell which side I’m choosing
Angel on my back, demon in my veins
Both of them calling my name
I’m between peace and ruin
Heart still beating through it
If I burn, if I break, if I never change
I’ll be standing in the middle of the flame
[Bridge]
[Beat drops, vocals close and tense]
Tell me, do you hear it?
The calm before the break
Prayer on my lips
Poison in my wake
One foot in the ashes
One hand in the light
I’m too tired to surrender
Too wired not to fight (yeah)
[Chorus]
(So) I’m between peace and ruin
Can’t tell which side I’m choosing
Angel on my back, demon in my veins
Both of them calling my name
I’m between peace and ruin
Heart still beating through it
If I burn, if I break, if I never change
I’ll be standing in the middle of the flame
[Chorus]
[Soft, fading]
I’m between peace and ruin
Voice just a ghost, still moving
Angel on my back, demon in my veins
Both of them losing their claim
I’m between peace and ruin
Breath in the dark, still human
As I fade, as I fall, as I slip away
Just an echo in the middle of the flame

rap, Dark metal-trap hybrid with male vocals: downtuned guitars, distorted 808-style low end, and glitchy hats in the verses. Choruses bloom into wide, melodic synth pads with soaring vocal top-lines and octave-doubled harmonies. Bridge drops into a minimal, tension-heavy breakdown with filtered bass and whispered vocals, then final chorus returns softer with reverb-drenched guitars and fading delay tails on the lead., soft, metal
