Crossfire in My Chest

[Intro]
Black coat
Wet boots
Same road
New truth
[Verse 1]
Got a scar on my faith, yeah, stitched too tight
Every kiss that I crave got barbed wire light
Heart say “run to her arms”
Head say “boy, you’re the harm”
Who you saving if you always take flight?
Talking circles in a cracked glass mirror
I’m the judge, I’m the jail, I’m the fear, uh
She got paint on her hands
Turning ghosts into plans
I got rust on my halo growing nearer
[Chorus]
I’m in a crossfire in my chest
Heart screams “jump”, head says “protect”
Which one really wants the best for me?
(yeah, yeah)
If I keep her safe, do I leave instead?
Or am I just hiding, scared to bleed red?
Tell me who I trust:
My heart or my head?
[Verse 2]
She a storm in a thrift store velvet dress
Laughs loud in the aisle, I’m a quiet mess
Heart’s like “give her your name”
Head’s like “you’ll burn her with shame”
Why you building these walls, calling that “blessed”?
All my “maybes” marching like a funeral line
Every “what if” carving up my spine
I’m a saint, I’m a sin
I’m the lock, I’m the pin
Could I break this curse if I just tried?
[Chorus]
I’m in a crossfire in my chest
Heart screams “jump”, head says “protect”
Which one really wants the best for me?
(oh-oh)
If I keep her safe, do I leave instead?
Or am I just hiding, scared to bleed red?
Tell me who I trust:
My heart or my head?
[Bridge]
[Music drops to piano and low strings]
Heart say, “you’re enough”
Head say, “you’re a flood”
Heart say, “she’s your home”
Head say, “you’ll track in mud”
I’ve been praying to a scale that never tips
Maybe love’s the risk
Not the script
[Chorus]
I’m in a crossfire in my chest
Heart screams “jump”, head says “protect”
Which one really wants the best for me?
(hey)
If I keep her safe, do I leave instead?
Or walk through the fire, shake hands with dread?
If I’m ever gonna live
I gotta choose one step
So tonight I trust
My heart over my head

rap, Dark hybrid of gothic rock and orchestral rap: male vocals over detuned piano, choirs, and crunching guitars. First verse rides a sparse trap groove with distant bells; chorus explodes with full band, strings in tremolo, and soaring background chants. Second verse adds double-time drums and low choir stabs; bridge strips to piano and hushed vocal before a final towering chorus., orchestral, rock
