Everybody’s got their demons Even wide awake or dreaming I’m the one who ends up leaving Make it okay See a war, I wanna fight it See a match, I wanna strike it Every fire I’ve ignited Faded to grey But now that I’m broken Now that you know it Caught up in a moment Can you see inside? 'Cause I’ve got a jet black heart And there’s a hurricane underneath it Trying to keep us apart I write with a poison pen But these chemicals moving between us Are the reason to start again Now I’m holding on for dear life There’s no way that we could rewind Maybe there’s nothing after midnight That could make you stay But now that I’m broken And now that you know it Caught up in a moment Can you see inside? 'Cause I’ve got a jet black heart And there’s a hurricane underneath it Trying to keep us apart I write with a poison pen But these chemicals moving between us Are the reason to start again The blood in my veins Is made up of mistakes Let’s forget who we are And dive into the dark As we burst into color Returning to life 'Cause I’ve got a jet black heart And there’s a hurricane underneath it Trying to keep us apart I write with a poison pen But these chemicals moving between us Are the reason to start again The blood in my veins Is made up of mistakes (to start again) Let's forget who we are And dive into the dark
