[Verse 1]
Red eyes on my back
Feathers on my face
Halo in my left hand
Right hand still laced
Demons in the rafters
Angels on the floor
Both sides screaming
“Boy, you built for war”
Sleep in a foxhole
Dreams like a grave
Mama said “pray,” but
I been needing more than faith
[Chorus]
Demons in the sky, angels on the ground
Either way they watch when I fall down
Claws on my heart, wings on my spine
Bleeding through the dark till I cross that line
Demons in the sky, angels in my head
Battling the voices every time I tread
Storm in my chest, fire in my lungs
I walk through the wreckage, still I’m never done (never done)
[Verse 2]
Blood on my knuckles
Glass in my teeth
Every scar scripture
Written underneath
They say “pick a side”
I say “I survive”
Turn every wound
To a war-cry alive (yeah)
Heaven in the distance
Hell at my feet
I’ve been through both
Still I’m on this street
[Chorus]
Demons in the sky, angels on the ground
Either way they watch when I fall down
Claws on my heart, wings on my spine
Bleeding through the dark till I cross that line
Demons in the sky, angels in my head
Battling the voices every time I tread
Storm in my chest, fire in my lungs
I walk through the wreckage, still I’m never done (never done)
[Bridge]
If I break, I break upward (upward)
If I fall, I fall through fear
Every shadow on my shoulders
Just proof that the light is near
[Chorus]
Demons in the sky, angels on the ground
Either way they watch when I rise now
Claws on my heart, wings on my spine
Crawled out the flames and I claimed what’s mine
Demons in the sky, angels in my head
Fighting in the smoke but I’m still ahead
Storm in my chest, fire in my lungs
I walked through the battle and I still ain’t done (still ain’t done)
