lyrics

Feel the quiver in my hands.
Splash some war paint on.
Carve my teeth real sharp,
Bare them big 'til dawn.
Indulge a moment's regret,
All lost in glass.

Biting hunger in my vains.
Feverish dreaming kiss.
Feast on everything
And vanish into mist.
Rising high into the cold black sky
Shivering wildly waiting this dread night to pass.

Scour barren lands,
Big holes in my shoes.
Proudly count on these worn hands
All the spoils I am waiting now to lose.
Flee porch lights like a cockroach,
Wait for death at braking tires.
No sleep for vampires.

A panicked scream through the rain.
Know I've left my mark.
Cast a doll into the storm drain,
Swallowed by the dark.
Dancing wildly with my demons
Until they come and make me leave the park.

Walk hand in hand
With grizzled men thrusting sharpened sticks.
Curse every brand.
Curse dark spots in my flesh from pleasure pricks.
Wrap myself in stolen velvet
On a burning funeral pyre.
No sleep for vampires.
