Day and Night
The dark and then the light
The dark is a bitter bite
Taking away any fight
Across the hills you can hear my cries
A shaking scream into my mind
Inside me my soul dies
I reap what I may find
Day sweeps across the broken sky
Washing away all the fear and pain
It brings me near and breaks the tie
But even the light will not remain
A constant battle between two tides
Neither one stops or subsides
I am in the middle
The one who hides
Because they are not two times
They are not parts of the day
They do not relate to the clock's chimes
But instead something within
Buried deep beneath the skin
They are a writhing ocean
And I'm gasping for oxygen
They are two emotions
Playing games inside my head
Sometimes it's day and sometimes it's night
It's never really clear which one is in sight
One remains fragile and one remains a blight
Sometimes I wish for one, and sometimes I wish for the other
In the end, it's a battle of day a night
