[Verse 1]
There’s a demon in the shadows, and angels in the light
They’re carving up my soul — only one will own it outright
Every whisper is a warning, every breath becomes a plea
The good and evil battle on the canvas that is me
They paint their stories deep — I feel it in my bones
It’s a war beneath the surface, where peace has never had a home
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel their fire, and I can feel their grace
Two divided forces, wearing just one face
[Chorus]
I got angels on my left, and I got devils on my right
They’re scratching at the surface of my sanity tonight
Here at the crossroads where so many have sold their souls
It’s the never-ending struggle — of who wins to take control?
[Verse 2]
In the chaos there’s never a reason, in the dark there is no spark
Every angel hides a demon waiting silent in the dark
Some voices try to help to heal me, while other hold me under to drown
It’s a war of contradiction every time they come around
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel their fire, and I can feel their grace
Two divided forces, wearing just one face
[catchy Chorus]
I got angels on my left, and I got devils on my right
They’re scratching at the surface of my sanity tonight
At the crossroads of my soul, where many sold their soul
In a never-ending struggle — who will take control?
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel the anger, as it’s pounding on my door
It’s the Greed, lust and envy they I can’t ignore
But I won’t let them steal from me what I truly adore
I’m willing die on my shield, for my family I’m willing to live for
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel their fire, and I can feel their grace
Two divided forces, wearing just one face
[Chorus]
I got angels on my left, and I got devils on my right
They’re scratching at the surface of my sanity tonight
At the crossroads of my soul, where many sold their soul
In a never-ending struggle — who will take control?
[Verse 4]
And though the world may anger, and the shadows start to fall
I’ll try to rise above the darkness, I will answer their phone call
With every bit of envy, greed, and lust I see
Lately, they’ve become the things that try to define me
[Bridge]
[Instrumental Interlude, Rising Tension]
(Whispered) With the Pride, gluttony, envy and lust
Battle it out in my soul— I’m trying to learn how to trust
(Whispered) Sloth, wrath and greed those I’ve always known
And now we’re all here, building up my throne
[Outro Chorus]
I got angels on my left, and I got devils on my right
But I’ll rise above the shadows, reclaim my inner light
In the battlefield of self, where the sinner meets the saint
I’ll choose the voice of mercy over bitterness and hate
[End]
[Slow Fade, Melancholy Guitar Outro]
I’ll be the war, when all I want is peace
But that war inside me, I know will never cease
