puppies, nails, absent angels (or: the truth about vampires, part II)

we live by hunger and we burn in light
we remember the pain that came before night
we are the family so close to the fire
but brother, i got so deadly tired
of all this constant acting alone
and the deep red color of the marrow in my bones
so i gave you drugs and i called them comfort
but you wanted to bring back what made your head hurt

i don't know how the two of us got like this
i make a habit of eating altruists
but i thought you wanted to come with me
let's do this, brother! be all you can be!
we are not human though you seem to forget
when your mouth tastes like copper, the feeling you get
i know that you miss me so come on and feed
we're connected by blood, so let's make someone bleed
