Transit in the Ryes - Bat Lyrics

It's there every night
As she had warned
It's probably not real
Just enough to not ignore
Squeezing through my walls on the down low
And no one listens though it's all I ever do
Clap your hands ironically
I have successfully fooled you once more
And even if I did cry
It's not enough to not ignore

And I'll let the bat bite me
Just so it can see
It wasn't missing one single thing
And I'll wait til it gets tired
So I can go to bed
And hear it scream all over again
Trying to ignore its pain

When it's tired you manage to breathe
Its existence vanishes for a while
I stare at your eyes and your fading smile

And finally we fall asleep
(When we fall asleep)
And finally we fall asleep
(The bat is nowhere near)
And finally we fall sleep
(When we fall asleep)
And finally we fall asleep

And I'll let the bat bite me
Just so it can see
It wasn't missing one single thing
And I'll wait til it gets tired
So I can go to bed
And hear it scream all over again
Trying to ignore its pain

And I'll let the bat bite me
