[Verse 1]
Velvet cloak
Sugar grin
You invite me
To step right in
Candied words
Drip like wine
But your shadow
Slips over mine
[Chorus]
You’re the bat of deception
Circling my head at midnight
Lady Nightshade
In my veins
Painting every promise twilight
You taste like truth
You cut like glass
I keep falling past the warning signs
Bat of deception
Stealing all the starlight from my eyes
[Verse 2]
Silver crumbs
On the floor
Lead me deeper
To your door
Porcelain smile
Poison slow
Every “trust me”
Teaching me no
[Bridge]
Tell me
Is it hunger
Or just habit in your chest (oh)
Do you even notice
Every heart you leaves a mess
[Chorus]
You’re the bat of deception
Circling my head at midnight
Lady Nightshade
In my veins
Painting every promise twilight
You taste like truth
You cut like glass
I keep falling past the warning signs
Bat of deception
Stealing all the starlight from my eyes
