The vocal melody is strong, aggressive and pushes the narrative but the music behind it is soft, sad & slow.
The "No more hurting deeds" verse sparseness works though and could be a storm's eye inside a more aggressive arrangement.

I'm not sure the duet in the chorus works. They don't seem to support each other.

Having written that I think it's the bones of a fabulous song.
