The Vampire

Born into seeing with my mind
Only to live I have to die
Foregone this loneliness and pride
I have to fade before I cry

Can’t shed this burning skin
Can’t deify my heart of sin
Can’t find the hope I want within
Unless I destroy.... now it all begins

Each tear that falls means one more life
I’ve lived through you all, please take this sight
Each face I touch just steals my light
My truth lies alone, it wakes at night

This vampire alone, on and on
The vampire in you, through and through
There’s no reflection left for me
I’m the vampire in you, I’ll make you see

I can’t shed this burning mind
I know that I’ve lived, but now I’ve died
There’s no more hope that grows inside
The days that I loved, the days I tried....

This vampire in fate, I hate and hate
The vampire in me, I see and see
I play the knight to bring you near
Then the vampire I am will make it clear
