Shadows and Grace
Create a powerful rock song with electric guitars, drums, and piano, weaving dark and light tones together. Capture the duality of revenge—sweet or ruinous—and life's intertwining with love, friends, and raw emotion.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I keep a list of every wound you gave me
Written in blood across my pretty skin
You think I've let it go but I've been saving
Every single bruise, every original sin
Friends say move on, they don't understand
How good it feels to hold this in my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is just hate with better timing
Revenge is just pain with perfect rhyming
[Chorus]
I want it sweet, I want it ruined
Both at the same time, I'm not choosing
Kiss me hard then watch me burn
Take your turn, then it's my turn
Sweet ruin, sweet ruin
I'll destroy what I've been losing
[Verse 2]
You wrapped me up in all your twisted feelings
Now I'm the one who holds the knife
They say forgiveness is the greatest healing
But I look better in the afterlife
Of what we were, of what we killed
I'm dancing on the grave we filled
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is just hate with better lighting
Revenge is just truth without the hiding
[Chorus]
I want it sweet, I want it ruined
Both at the same time, I'm not choosing
Kiss me hard then watch me burn
Take your turn, then it's my turn
Sweet ruin, sweet ruin
I'll destroy what I've been losing
[Bridge]
And all my friends, they watch me spiral
Say I'm sick, say I'm in denial
But they don't know how warm the cold feels
When you're numb to what is real
You made me this, so watch me bloom
A beautiful, poisonous wound
[Chorus]
I want it sweet, I want it ruined
Both at the same time, I'm not choosing
Kiss me hard then watch me burn
Take your turn, then it's my turn
Sweet ruin, sweet ruin
I am what I've been losing
[Outro]
Sweet ruin, sweet ruin
This is what love is doing
Sweet ruin, sweet ruin
I am my own undoing
