Bats Don't Want Your Blood

from Some Fates by That Dream Was Our Life

lyrics

Bats don't want your blood
They want something prettier & young
Falling like the dying leaves
Crushed under you & me

Tears that line the willow's weep
Uncoil the vines of autumn's roll
Trembling hands cannot hold on
To the mirage of self-control

Do what you want with no second thoughts
Do what you want & never get caught

Snakes don't want your skin
No dreams or venom in their bite
When we outgrow the past
Do we lose the parasite

Do what you want with no second thoughts
Do what you want & never get caught

Bats don't want your blood
They want something prettier & young
Helicopter seeds
Spinning over you & me

Bats don't want your blood
When it's over & it's done
Kick the dirt of honesty
On the bones of you & me

Bats don't want your blood
Saints would rather love
Descending like a blinding truth
Over the night of me & you
