Half-blood

Drop

Blood of a halo

Blood of a horn

Verse 1

Born split down the middle

One half prays the other one bites

Mother wore a crown of light

Father wore a mask of night

I feel them both tearing

Ripping at the seams inside my chest

Two rivers running opposite

Neither one will let me rest

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I am holy

Maybe I am damned

Maybe I am both and neither

Maybe that is who I am

Chorus

I am the son of an angel

I am the son of a demon

I am the war between them

I am the war between them

Wings on one shoulder

Claws on the other

I am the son of an angel

I am the son of a demon

Drop

Blood of a halo

Blood of a horn

Verse 2

Every night a battle

Every morning I survive

Grandmother sang me lullabies

Grandfather taught me how to lie

I carry their inheritance

In the marrow of my bones

Half of me is begging mercy

Half of me is throwing stones

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I am holy

Maybe I am damned

Maybe I am both and neither

Maybe that is who I am

Chorus

I am the son of an angel

I am the son of a demon

I am the war between them

I am the war between them

Wings on one shoulder

Claws on the other

I am the son of an angel

I am the son of a demon

Bridge

Cut me open see what spills

Petals or a poison rain

Cut me open count the wills

One to heal and one to maim

Breakdown

I am not a curse

I am not a prayer

I am not a curse

I am not a prayer

Chorus

I am the son of an angel

I am the son of a demon

I am the war between them

I am the war between them

Wings on one shoulder

Claws on the other

I am the son of an angel

I am the son of a demon
