Sleeper

(album: Passenger - 2020)

I found my own way to suffer
Don't call me down until it's safe
Either call me out or call me down
You're playing purgatory as middle ground
Now we're face to face to make amends
I feel the double cross before you say amen
If I can't escape the choices that I've made
I'll drag them deep with me under the waves
I'll know the face when I see it
'Till then I'm left with the sound

I found my own way to suffer
Don't call me down until it's safe

If I can't change or fix my soul
Then I can't break this old cycle
I found my own way to suffer
Don't call me down until it's safe

Why are we paying for the past
When the present is free
Why do these voices lock me inside of my head
When silence is key

Don't drag me down to this hell
My blood's forever cold
If we reap what we so
Will we ever know

If I can't change or fix my soul
Then I can't break this old cycle
I found my own way to suffer
Don't call me down until it's safe

If you're gonna call me down
If you're gonna speak my name
Then you better say it loud
And you better stand up straight
If I can't erase
(If I can't embrace)
The choices I've made
(Then I can't escape)

I'll know the face when I see it
Till then I'm calling your bluff

If I can't change or fix my soul
Then I can't break this old cycle
I found my own way to suffer
Don't call me down until it's safe

If I can't erase the choices I've made
I'll know the face when I see it
'Till then I'm calling your bluff
