[Verse 1] Torn between two worlds that refuse to let go The day sits heavy on my right shoulder An angel carved from sunlight and clean hands Pulling me toward the glare I never asked for The night digs its claws into the left A demon made of quiet and cold stars Whispering that the dark is the only place I was ever meant to breathe [Pre-Chorus] They stretch me like a medieval rack Bone by bone, breath by breath One promises warmth One promises rest [Chorus] Day and night Which one do I give in to? Day and night They’re tearing me in two I can feel the joints begin to break Under the weight of both their claims Day and night I’m still caught in between [Verse 2] I walk through the sunlight as if in a daze Selling pieces of myself just to stay upright Then the first stars appear and the demon smiles And suddenly the deals feel cheap I look up with a quiet sense of awe No glare left in my eyes Just the soft pull of evening And the question that never leaves: Are we alone out here? [Pre-Chorus] They stretch me like a medieval rack One hand of light, one hand of dark I can hear the wood begin to crack [Chorus] Day and night Which one do I give in to? Day and night They’re tearing me in two I can feel the joints begin to break Under the weight of both their claims Day and night I’m still caught in between [Bridge] I used to wish I could live in both Keep the warmth of the day And the freedom of the night But they were never meant to share me Now I just want the stretching to stop Even if it means choosing the side That will finally finish the job [Final Chorus] Day and night Which one do I give in to? Day and night They’re tearing me in two I can feel the joints begin to break Under the weight of both their claims Day and night… I’m still caught in between Day and night… I’m still caught
