The clawed bat

Clawed bat hanging from the rafters of my mind
Behind the closed door
You found your way through
The cold black night

Night comes...

Times that I felt there was blood in my mouth
I was so young, unaware of the turning point
Now at a crossroad pressed to choose or to die
My world, it opens and a crack pulls from the sky

And when you clip my wings I'm aware
And when you nick my veins I'm aware
You can infect me with it I'm aware
It's how you clip my wings - I'm aware

Clawed bat, echolocation came to you in time
Somewhere in the night
You found your way through
Evolved in stealth

Time spun a web of a dreams to resolve
I was so cruel, unprepared for the turning point
There past the point of no return
With no way back no more
The night it open and it drinks my dream dry

And clip my wings I'm aware
And when you nix my world I'm aware
You can infect me with it I'm aware
It's how you clip my wings - I'm aware
