Betwixt (Redux)

[Intro – Heavy trap beat, wind + thunder FX, two panned voices]
[Voice 1 – smooth, confident]
Sky ain’t high enough for me.
[Voice 2 – clipped, growl]
Shadows ain’t deep enough for me.


---

[Verse 1 – Voice 1, smooth, connected syllables]
Every step feel light though the ground might break,
Every mile gone by in a half-heart shake,
I could catch that sun ‘fore the clouds all wake,
Pull storms apart like a twist in fate.
I’m the calm in the surge when the tides get loud,
Movin’ faster than the thought in a thinker’s crowd,
Got the lift in my bones for the weight they shroud,
But I keep it in check so the sky stays proud.


---

[Chorus – Call-and-response]
[Voice 1] Rip clouds—wide open,
[Voice 2] Break chains—keep movin’,
[Voice 1] Heat burns—still flowin’,
[Voice 2] Dark reign—still provin’!
[Both] And if you saw the face behind the masks we choose to wear…
Would you run? Would you dare?


---

[Verse 2 – Voice 2, short staccato phrases, heavy consonants]
Night time. Ghost walk.
One vow. No talk.
Step soft. Hit hard.
Tight grip. No guard.
Every scar? That’s law.
Every step? They saw.
Fear’s mine. I draw.
One rule. No flaw.

The bruise in the bruise in the bone in the fight,
Every strike in the dark is the claim of the night,
Turn pain into tools till the wrong feels right,
No blink, no break, just bite.


---

[Chorus – Both, higher energy]
[Voice 1] Rip clouds—wide open,
[Voice 2] Break chains—keep movin’,
[Voice 1] Heat burns—still flowin’,
[Voice 2] Dark reign—still provin’!
[Both] And if you saw the face behind the masks we choose to wear…
Would you run? Would you dare?


---

[Bridge – Trade-off bursts]
[Voice 1 – smooth run] Not the stars I fear, but the ones I hold,
[Voice 2 – clipped] Not the dark I fear, it’s the truth untold,
[Voice 1 – smooth run] Every breath’s a weapon that can’t be sold,
[Voice 2 – clipped] Every wound’s a vow that won’t grow cold.

[Voice 1 – flowing] I’m the light that blinds if the clouds all break,
[Voice 2 – sharp] I’m the night that hunts till the guilty quake,
[Voice 1 – flowing] I’ll lift that sky just to keep it safe,
[Voice 2 – sharp] I’ll rule these streets till they’re mine to take.


---

[Final Chorus – Unison, maximum intensity]
Rip clouds—wide open!
Break chains—keep movin’!
Heat burns—still flowin’!
Dark reign—still provin’!
And if you saw the face behind the masks we choose to wear…
Would you run? Would you— (beat drop)
…dare?


---

[Outro – Wind and thunder fade, heartbeat panned center]
[Voice 1 – low, steady]
Still holdin’ it there.
[Voice 2 – low, final]
Still huntin’ down here.
