Two Shadows, One Flame

Verse 1 (Josh)
She’s in my hands, she can’t let go,
I built her world, I made it so.
Call it love, call it fate,
Without me, she’d disintegrate.

Verse 2 (Phil)
I saw her break, I saw her cry,
Silent prayers in the dead of night.
I swore I’d guard, I swore I’d stay,
Even when the world pulled me away.

Pre-Chorus (Together, tension)
Two sides pulling at her soul,
One to chain, one to make her whole.

Chorus
One burns her down, one lifts her high,
One steals her voice, one hears her cry.
Two shadows fight for the same flame,
But only one can break the chains.

Verse 3 (Josh)
She can’t survive without my touch,
My love is poison, but it’s enough.
She’ll come crawling, she’ll obey,
No matter what the others say.

Verse 4 (Phil)
I’d take her pain, I’d take the fall,
I’d tear down every single wall.
She’s not a trophy, not my prize,
She’s the strength I see inside.

Pre-Chorus (Together)
Two sides pulling at her soul,
One to chain, one to make her whole.

Chorus
One burns her down, one lifts her high,
One steals her voice, one hears her cry.
Two shadows fight for the same flame,
But only one can break the chains.

Bridge (Phil vs Josh call-and-response)
(Josh): She’s mine forever, she can’t leave.
(Phil): She’s free to choose, to truly breathe.
(Josh): Without my love, she’ll disappear.
(Phil): Without your grip, she’ll finally heal.

Final Chorus
One burns her down, one lifts her high,
One steals her voice, one hears her cry.
Two shadows fight for the same flame,
But only one will end the pain.

Outro
Two shadows in her memory stay,
One fades to dark, one lights the way.
