Bargaining, Pt. 2 (feat. Jenny Owen Youngs)

I hit the streets every night
My sacred calling's to bring the fight
To vampires and demons
So says my programming
The curtain fell, I was done
But there's no choice for the chosen one
Seems I'll forever be
Scouring cemeteries

And all my living friends
Are trying to pretend, I'm real

When they look at me
All that they can see
Is somebody who was long gone
When they look at me
All that they can see
Is somebody who it hurt to, hurt to miss

Dug my way up through the dirt
Clawing and climbing for all I'm worth
Up to a burning world
My vision dimmed and blurred
Night stretches endlessly on
Don't know if I'll ever see the dawn
Keep fighting, keep breathing
So says my programming

And for my living friends
I'm trying to pretend, I'm real

When I look at me
All that I can see
Is somebody who is long gone
When I look at me
All that I can see
Is somebody who it hurts to, hurts to miss

I gave what I had to give
Gave you my only gift
I let go but you, you never did
