You were a call
That I couldn't put down
You stayed in my mind late into the night
My dark passenger

It's a war in my mind
As you sharpen the blades
I try to be good, but it's not as good as being insane

Could you tell me if I had a chance to be free?
Cause it burns every hour of every day being me

I've got pockets of ease
I've got slights of decay
Got a mind full of people that I once loved
And betrayed

I go looking for fear
Down the alleys and homes
It's a war in my mind, but I can't shake off the joy in my bones

Could you tell me if I have a chance to be free?
Cause I know I can love, I know that I'm doing more harm to me

It's the flashbacks
The blood
It's an essential need
I've gotta get back to the boy that was taken from me
You were a call
That I couldn't put down
You stayed in my mind late into the night
My dark passenger
