[Verse 1] I wake with the weight on me One says run, one says bleed Cold hand, warm hand Both got a claim on me The dark one talks like a king The bright one sings through the sting I hear them both at once Same old pull, same old thing [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a crown I don't need a curse I know what comes first I know what hurts [Chorus] I've got a devil and an angel On my shoulders tonight I've got a devil and an angel I brush the wingless off I've got a devil and an angel But I choose the one that flies I brush the wingless off I brush the wingless off [Verse 2] Devil wants gold in my palm Angel says, "Keep your calm" One fills my mouth with fire One lays cool on my tongue I laugh when they start to fight Both of them want my life But I won't kneel to doubt I won't let either one drive [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a crown I don't need a curse I know what comes first I know what hurts [Chorus] I've got a devil and an angel On my shoulders tonight I've got a devil and an angel I brush the wingless off I've got a devil and an angel But I choose the one that flies I brush the wingless off I brush the wingless off [Bridge] If I fall, let me fall clean If I rise, let me rise seen I want the spark, not the smoke I want the truth in my throat [Final Chorus] I've got a devil and an angel On my shoulders tonight I've got a devil and an angel I brush the wingless off I've got a devil and an angel But I choose the one that flies I brush the wingless off I brush the wingless off
