lyrics

I'm trying on Laura's black skirt. She says it makes me look fierce. She says tonight'll be massive. She says tonight we're gonna disappear. Parents out in Wisconsin, we're blasting our vampire songs. My blood starts kicking to the chorus. The sun gets swallowed as we scream along. Laura picks hers out quickly, pulls the old nylon routine. Drags her prey to the bathroom and leaves me to suss out the scene. Some boy steps to me in the kitchen, lost grey eyes and a sweet stubbled smile. He says he likes the way the lights attach to me. He holds out a flask for me. Nerves blossom hot in my stomach. I'm feeling on his patchwork jacket. He says a dirty joke, like an unanswered prayer. He says there's rooms upstairs. A wedding reception a couple years ago, a cousin put a mark on my neck. And Daddy just sighed with surrender, but I never could shake what he said. He said blood calls to blood. And it rises in a flood. It's in our blood. Laura sees us in the stairwell, going up hand in hand, and her eyes go wide. I'm laughing like a mad sky-diver. She says, “give us a sec.” She pulls me aside. Flashing fangs in the landing, forehead slick as she pulls me near. My throat goes dry as she whispers, “Hey, Sara, you sure you wanna disappear?”
