[Verse 1]
There are voices in my head and my heart is heart is trying hard to drown them out
I keep hearing what they said, they've enticed me into what they're all about
Willpower slips away
And I'm weakening with every word they say
So I contemplate my fate, as I do, the whisper turns into a shout

[Pre-Chorus]
You bring out the darkest side of me
Chased out from a place that I can't reach
I would love to practice what I preach
But you bring out the darkest side of me, yeah

[Chorus]
I tried to resist, but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me
I tried to resist, but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me

[Verse 2]
Risking everything I had, I was keen to find the worst that I could do
Drove the sanity away, brought destruction to the people that I knew
My head became a cage
I became a puppet on the stage
And even though we're not okay, the feeling brings me pleasure all the same, all the same
[Pre-Chorus]
You bring out the darkest side of me
Chased out from a place that I can't reach
I would love to practice what I preach
But you bring out the darkest side of me, yeah

[Chorus]
I tried to resist, but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me
I tried to resist, but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me
