Vampire

Once I lived
but now each night I just persist, I am a
shell of my humanity.
It is a opera of fear
(sometimes I love it yes I lo-ove the ecstasy of blo-ood. I love it lo-ove the fe-ear).

I decay
and hide from everyone all day, I am a
shell of that humanity
It is a tradgedy but
(we get what we want and I want-eeed to live awa-aay so I have no-one to bla-aame).

Vampire! (near me).
Vampire! (fear me).
Vampire!

Love the rats.
The only friends I have are cats, I am a
body in a violent sea.
The sharks have eaten me-e.
(I admit that I love it yes I lo-ove the ecstasy of isola-tion. I love it lo-ove the free and freedom). I am a,

Shell of my humanity.
It is crucifiction feast.
(we get what we want and I want-eeed to live awa-aay so I have no-one to bla-aame).

Hark you sinners, what have I to do?
Everywhere is poisoned black by you.
Stay away!
(stay away we want to leave you please don't take the long road to the tunnel past the ignorant and failures).

(fade)

Vampire! (near me).
Vampire! (fear me).
Vampire!
