The Wire Between

Verse 1

Fork in the frozen asphalt

One way leads to the warmth of your palm

The other falls toward a sharp-edged fault

Staying here in the silence feels like the only calm

Lines on the map are fading into grey

Should I leave or is it better to stay

Pre-Chorus

Heartbeat hammering a heavy wood door

Scared of the peace or scared of the war

My breath caught in the middle of a scream

Lost inside the logic of a waking dream

Chorus

Stuck on the wire between love and hate

Too much is at stake

Every choice is a heavy weight

Ready to bend or ready to break

Love or hate

It is never too late

Verse 2

Black ink stains on a white lace sheet

Vows were made for a different kind of life

Now I am walking on a one-way street

Cutting through the shadows with a butter knife

Anger tastes like copper in my throat

While kindness feels like an old heavy coat

Pre-Chorus

Heartbeat hammering a heavy wood door

Scared of the peace or scared of the war

My breath caught in the middle of a scream

Lost inside the logic of a waking dream

Chorus

Stuck on the wire between love and hate

Too much is at stake

Every choice is a heavy weight

Ready to bend or ready to break

Love or hate

It is never too late

Bridge

Maybe there is a third way out

Far from the doubt

Beyond the shame and the quiet shout

I see, I feel, I know

Chorus

Stuck on the wire between love and hate

Too much is at stake

Every choice is a heavy weight

Ready to bend or ready to break

Love or hate

It is never too late
