[Verse 1] You stand in the doorway of my mind One hand warm, one hand cold as knives You say, “Come closer, I know your name” I smell the ash when you breathe my flame I’ve been marked by a thousand falls Still I hear both of your calls One says run, one says kneel One says bleed, one says heal [Pre-Chorus] I can feel you on my neck I can feel that final check Every lie I ever fed Every prayer I never said [Chorus] I choose my path tonight Through the dark or into light God on one side, devil on my shoulder I won’t break, I’ll get bolder I choose my path tonight I won’t kneel, I won’t divide God on one side, devil on my shoulder I live or die, but I don’t surrender [Verse 2] Your silver mouth and your velvet grin Try to drag my blood back in You point at scars like they prove your crown I spit the shame and I burn it down The other voice, it doesn’t shout Just pulls me back when I black out Says, “You are more than your worst mistake” Says, “Every chain can break” [Pre-Chorus] I can hear the two of you now At the edge of my final vow One wants ruin, one wants grace Both got claws inside this place [Chorus] I choose my path tonight Through the dark or into light God on one side, devil on my shoulder I won’t break, I’ll get bolder I choose my path tonight I won’t kneel, I won’t divide God on one side, devil on my shoulder I live or die, but I don’t surrender [Bridge] [Whispered] If I fall, will you find me? If I crawl, will you leave me? [Screamed] I’ve been half a man for far too long! I’ve been feeding what is wrong! But there’s a fire under this skin And I’m done letting you win! [Breakdown] Not your pawn Not your prey I walk through hell I make my way Not your pawn Not your prey I call my name I choose today [Final Chorus] I choose my path tonight Through the dark or into light God on one side, devil on my shoulder I won’t break, I’ll get bolder I choose my path tonight I won’t kneel, I won’t divide God on one side, devil on my shoulder I live or die, but I don’t surrender [Outro] I choose my path I choose my path Devil, back off I’m still alive
