Lyrics

Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position
Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position
Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position

[Chorus x2]
Caught up in two worlds, pressure on my mind
I'm lost in transition, brightness and the night
Brightness and the night
It's like brightness versus the night



[verse 1]
Your my demon, your my angel
Your my darkness, your my light
The pleasure versus the anger
Your my left, your my right
You've got horns, you've got a halo
Shine bright onto the city
Your goodbye, you are heyllo
A beautiful treasure, yet a pitty
Trying hard to find my way out
Yelling for help, screams and shouts
On two different trains, one north one south
Trying to get help, and get out, refuse to cover my mouth

[Chorus]
Of two different worlds, I'm lost in the transition
Im out of my head, need a new position
Caught up in two worlds, pressure on my mind
I'm lost in transition, brightness and the night
Brightness and the night
It's like brightness versus the night

Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Loving you is insane

[Chorus x2]
Caught up in two worlds, pressure on my mind
I'm lost in transition, brightness and the night
Brightness and the night
It's like brightness versus the night

Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Screams of pain
Loving you is insane
