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
Have a chance to be free?
'Cause it burns every hour of every day
Being me

I've got pockets of ease
I've got slides 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
