[Intro]
Crowd roar in my ribs
House lights burning low
Boots on painted tape
Waiting for the blow
[Verse 1]
Every scar on my hands
Is a promise I broke
Every prayer that I mumbled
Turned to gunpowder smoke
I’ve been blessed
I’ve been branded
Devil’s grin
Saint’s halo
Got a foot in the fire
And a fist in the glow
[Chorus]
I am the thin line
Between the halo and the blade
I am the thin line
Where every sinner gets remade
Pull me to heaven
Drag me through the flame
I’m standing in between your rage and your faith
I am the thin line
Yeah
I’m the thin line
[Verse 2]
Gold ring on my finger
But the metal feels cold
Every vow that I whispered
Had a shadow it sold
You want a wolf
You want a shepherd
You want a cage
You want a key
I’m the crack in your mirror
Where you’re most like me (hey!)
[Chorus]
I am the thin line
Between the halo and the blade
I am the thin line
Where every sinner gets remade
Pull me to heaven
Drag me through the flame
I’m standing in between your rage and your faith
I am the thin line
Yeah
I’m the thin line
[Bridge – Male Screamed]
Tear me open
Paint me white
Then stain me red again tonight
Call me savior
Call me shame
I wear both names
I wear both names
[Breakdown – Female Solo]
You’re not a monster
You’re not a saint
You’re just the wound
Under the paint
You are the question
They’re scared to speak
You are the mercy
Inside the teeth
[Final Chorus – Both]
You are the thin line
Between the halo and the blade
You are the thin line
Where every sinner gets remade
Pull you to heaven
Drag you through the flame
You’re standing in between their rage and their faith
You are the thin line
(you are, you are)
You are the thin line
[Outro – Female]
Hold that tape on the floor
Don’t step either side
You were born in the crossfire
Live as the thin line
