it emerges when the bats are out
i'm well equip yet badly weak
and my trembling indicates
i'm petrified
for it's the late hours that make me forget
i thought i was happy before
and when it gets me below the skin
its far too painful to ignore
i fear it will reveal me
and they'll know that i'm insane
it says come lets leave
so i'll let it define me again

well, i wish i was shallow
and i wish i was beautiful
and i wish i was you
i wouldn't have to care
because i have a mad crave for meaning
and it's driving me through the walls
can't reason with my devils
can't be saved any more

please forgive me love
i am deep and well forgetten
spinning and tired, falling off my feet
i know you're winning
and i'd call you up to join you
but i'd be abusing my fate.
