Hell To Pay
Hell To Pay: A Journey Through Heartbreak and Redemption
Lyrics
Between a rock and a hard place
Feeling trapped between difficult choices
I'm skipping stones again
Repeating a pattern of avoiding problems
If you get off of my case
Asking for understanding and space
Maybe I could let you in
Open to letting someone into their life
Truth is that the truth hurts
Acknowledging that honesty can be painful
But I guess you know that best
Recognizing the listener's familiarity with pain
Cause instead of stabbing me in the back
Addressing betrayal from a close person
You stab me in the chest
Highlighting a deeper, more personal betrayal
Burning bridges always seemed so natural
Describing a tendency to damage relationships
I'm tipping the scales but I'm not sure which way to go
Feeling indecisive about a crucial choice
Running in circles with a fork stuck in the road
Expressing confusion and being at a crossroads
This house is burning but I guess I'll have to call it home
Accepting a challenging situation as home
I'm a saint in sheep's clothing
Presenting oneself as morally deceptive
Herded by a sinner's way
Being influenced by a morally questionable person
Why does heaven have to cost so much?
Questioning the cost of righteousness
Cause I've got hell to pay
Confronting the consequences of one's actions
All these demons live inside my head
Struggling with inner conflicts and negativity
A hopeless cliche
Acknowledging a clichéd and desperate situation
And with this devil on my shoulder
Having conflicting influences on decision-making
This angel, doesn't get a say
Not having a say in a morally conflicting situation
Doesn't get a say
Reiterating the lack of influence in a dilemma
I can see you pull the rug
Feeling deceived or betrayed
Beneath both my feet
Experiencing a loss of support or stability
I can see you pull the strings
Recognizing manipulation from an observable position
With a front row seat
Being controlled by external forces
So sit down and tune in
Inviting the audience to witness a personal struggle
The show's about to start
Anticipating a challenging phase in life
It's getting hard to pick between my head or my heart
Weighing the conflict between rationality and emotion
Burning bridges always seemed so natural
Repeating the theme of damaging relationships
I'm tipping the scales but I'm not sure which way to go
Feeling undecided about a crucial decision
Running in circles with a fork stuck in the road
Being stuck in a confusing and challenging situation
This ship is sinking but I'll try my best to stay afloat
Fighting to survive amidst adversity
I'm a saint in sheep's clothing
Presenting a conflicting moral identity
Herded by a sinner's way
Being influenced by a morally questionable person
Why does heaven have to cost so much?
Questioning the cost of righteousness
Cause I've got hell to pay
Confronting the consequences of one's actions
All these demons live inside my head
Struggling with inner conflicts and negativity
A hopeless cliche
Acknowledging a clichéd and desperate situation
And with this devil on my shoulder
Having conflicting influences on decision-making
This angel, doesn't get a say
Not having a say in a morally conflicting situation
Doesn't get a say
Reiterating the lack of influence in a dilemma
Doesn't get a say
-OH
Emphasizing the intense emotional state with an exclamation
