[Verse 1 – Clean vocals, moody guitar] I light a match, then beg the fire not to spread Kiss her lips while thinking of the one I left for dead I don’t lie, I just omit the parts that sting And every time I promise clean—I dirty everything I play the good guy when I’m not Say I’ll change, then hope they forgot Love feels like a costume now And I can’t remember how… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Rising tension] 🎙️ I see my face in the rearview 🎙️ And hate the things I still do 🎙️ I’m not evil… but I’m not whole 🎙️ I’m the cracks in self-control ⸻ [Chorus – Loud, full band, confession hook] 🎤 I’m halfway human, halfway hell 🎤 I break the ones who loved me well 🎤 Say I’m better, then I bail 🎤 Truth’s a coffin I still nail 🎤 I meant it when I held you close 🎤 But guilt don’t warm you like a ghost 🎤 I walk alone, I lost that fight 🎤 I’m halfway human every night ⸻ [Verse 2 – Gritty, bitter edge] She said, “You’re not a monster, but you make one out of me.” And I laughed it off to hide how true that line would be I swear I loved her—but I loved myself more And now I sleep beside the guilt that keeps score I wanted clean hands, but I held knives Loved the thrill and killed the wives Of who I could’ve been But never let survive ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Repeat, more aggressive] 🎙️ I see my face in the rearview 🎙️ And hate the things I still do 🎙️ I’m not evil… but I’m not clean 🎙️ I’m the tear behind the screen ⸻ [Chorus – Repeat with heavier backing vocals/screams] 🎤 I’m halfway human, halfway hell 🎤 I break the ones who loved me well 🎤 Say I’m better, then I bail 🎤 Truth’s a coffin I still nail 🎤 I meant it when I held you close 🎤 But guilt don’t warm you like a ghost 🎤 I walk alone, I lost that fight 🎤 I’m halfway human every night ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken word fading into screams] 🎙️ I write apologies in smoke 🎙️ I leave them where no one looks 🎙️ If I ever get to heaven… 🎙️ It’ll be on the sins I took ⸻ [Final Chorus – Vocals break, heavy and desperate] 🎤 I’m halfway human, always torn 🎤 A warning label love was warned 🎤 She moved on, and I still stare 🎤 At the ghost that isn’t there 🎤 She’s in arms that won’t betray 🎤 I rot in every yesterday 🎤 No one left to blame or fight 🎤 I’m halfway human… every night.

Halfway Human
