Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro - distant piano, reversed guitar swells, low ambient pad] A light flickers in the hall I whisper, Father, through the dark And hear my own unsettled heart [Verse 1 - palm-muted guitar, tight bass, restrained kick and snare] I say I trust You, then I grip control I sing of grace, then hide my soul I kneel in need, then drift by noon I beg for dawn, then love the moon I hate the sin I still repeat The same old chains, the same defeat I call You Abba, still I run Afraid of what Your love may undo [Pre-Chorus - guitars open, toms rise, lead line swells] I read the words and feel no fire I try to pray, but just grow tired I want a sign, a voice, a spark While You keep asking for my heart [Chorus - full distorted guitars, wide bass, crashing cymbals] This divided heart keeps pulling me apart I want Your will, but I protect my wants I reach for grace with shaking hands Then fear the cost of Your commands If faith is more than how I feel Then teach me how to stay here still I'm still right here, ashamed and scarred Trying to trust You with this divided heart [Verse 2 - wider guitars, heavier bass movement, driving drums] I see strong saints and shrink inside Dress up my doubt and call it pride I raise my hands while feeling numb Smile in church, then come undone I chase relief more than Your face Use holy words to hide my state Conviction cuts, condemnation shouts And I can't always sort them out [Pre-Chorus - guitars build higher, toms swell, lead climbs] When life gets calm, I drift away Then run back close on harder days I say You're Lord, then choose my way And wonder why I feel so far away [Chorus - full distorted guitars, wide bass, crashing cymbals, layered vocal lift] This divided heart keeps pulling me apart I want Your peace, but cling to what I guard I cry for help through shame and sin Then build the walls right back again If faith is trust when sight is gone Then keep me when my strength is done I'm still right here, though hope feels scarred Trying to trust You with this divided heart [Bridge - stripped piano, sub bass, sparse guitar texture] Am I in love Or just in need Do I want You Or just relief Take my time Take my plans Teach my soul To open its hands [Breakdown - screamed wall of sound, crushing guitars, pounding drums] I'm tired of failing Tired of masks Tired of promise Without the acts Not just my crisis Not one more start Take every minute And break this heart [Final Chorus - layered cleans, scream doubles, sustained lead melody] This divided heart has war beneath its skin I want You close, but fight You from within I reach for mercy, fall again Then beg You not to let this end If You are Father, keep me near In doubt, in dryness, dread, and fear I'm still right here, though torn apart Trying to trust You with this divided heart [Outro - ringing harmonics, fading piano, long room reverb] A light still flickers in the hall I say, Father, through it all And in the silence, still I call
