[Verse 1 – Clean vocals, moody guitar]
I light a match, then beg the fire not to spread
Kiss her lips while thinking of the one I left for dead
I don’t lie, I just omit the parts that sting
And every time I promise clean—I dirty everything
I play the good guy when I’m not
Say I’ll change, then hope they forgot
Love feels like a costume now
And I can’t remember how…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Rising tension]
🎙️ I see my face in the rearview
🎙️ And hate the things I still do
🎙️ I’m not evil… but I’m not whole
🎙️ I’m the cracks in self-control
⸻
[Chorus – Loud, full band, confession hook]
🎤 I’m halfway human, halfway hell
🎤 I break the ones who loved me well
🎤 Say I’m better, then I bail
🎤 Truth’s a coffin I still nail
🎤 I meant it when I held you close
🎤 But guilt don’t warm you like a ghost
🎤 I walk alone, I lost that fight
🎤 I’m halfway human every night
⸻
[Verse 2 – Gritty, bitter edge]
She said, “You’re not a monster, but you make one out of me.”
And I laughed it off to hide how true that line would be
I swear I loved her—but I loved myself more
And now I sleep beside the guilt that keeps score
I wanted clean hands, but I held knives
Loved the thrill and killed the wives
Of who I could’ve been
But never let survive
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Repeat, more aggressive]
🎙️ I see my face in the rearview
🎙️ And hate the things I still do
🎙️ I’m not evil… but I’m not clean
🎙️ I’m the tear behind the screen
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat with heavier backing vocals/screams]
🎤 I’m halfway human, halfway hell
🎤 I break the ones who loved me well
🎤 Say I’m better, then I bail
🎤 Truth’s a coffin I still nail
🎤 I meant it when I held you close
🎤 But guilt don’t warm you like a ghost
🎤 I walk alone, I lost that fight
🎤 I’m halfway human every night
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken word fading into screams]
🎙️ I write apologies in smoke
🎙️ I leave them where no one looks
🎙️ If I ever get to heaven…
🎙️ It’ll be on the sins I took
⸻
[Final Chorus – Vocals break, heavy and desperate]
🎤 I’m halfway human, always torn
🎤 A warning label love was warned
🎤 She moved on, and I still stare
🎤 At the ghost that isn’t there
🎤 She’s in arms that won’t betray
🎤 I rot in every yesterday
🎤 No one left to blame or fight
🎤 I’m halfway human… every night.
