The Dayveil - Borderlands Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caught between the lines they drew
One foot here, one over there
Mom's prayers echo through these walls
While London streets run through my hair
Mixed blood running in my veins
They say "pick a side" but I can't change
Every mirror shows two faces
Every memory's got two names

[Chorus]
In these borderlands, I'm finding me
Where East meets West, that's where I'll be
Not lost, just living differently
In these borderlands, I'm breaking free
Yeah, these borderlands made me complete
Where shadows dance with clarity
Not wrong, just living differently

[Verse 2]
Daddy's getting weaker now
But his wisdom's getting stronger
Made a promise by his bed
To make music last much longer
School kids used to laugh and point
"Your name sounds funny, what are you?"
Now those echoes fuel my fire
Turn their mockery to truth

[Bridge]
Between the mosque and ministry
Between the Thames and Mediterranean Sea
Not half of this, not half of that
I'm everything I'm meant to be

[Chorus]
In these borderlands, I'm finding me
Where East meets West, that's where I'll be
Not lost, just living differently
In these borderlands, I'm breaking free
Yeah, these borderlands made me complete
Where shadows dance with clarity
Not wrong, just living differently

[Outro]
No more choosing sides
No more alibis
This space between
It's where I shine
It's all mine
