Vampire - Mu

I’ve been fearsome

Sucking on my sore thumb

Living off of morsels

Trying to fill my torso

20 dollars left to me

But you’ll have me sing for free

But you’ll have me sing for free

Vampire sets his eyes on me

You tried to suck me dry

Sink your teeth in and imprison me

But I’d die before you take your bite

Cross my heart and hope to keep alight

Hope to keep alight

Hope to keep alight

It’s been weird though

I’m so comfortable

In my black hole

Swearing that I’m in control

20 dollars left to me

But a dollar will not set me free

A dollar will not set me free

When a vampire sets his eyes on me

You tried to suck me dry

Sink your teeth in and imprison me

But I’d die before you take your bite

Cross my heart and hope to keep alight

Hope to keep alight

Hope to keep alight

I don’t know where the time goes by

I carry it around like a blackened eye

Bonsai beauty, hindered in size

Kept me contained so I learned not to rise

Oh, to be beneath

The ones who one day will recognize me

Can’t hide their teeth

Hungered, and suited to vandalize me

It always seemed to drain me white

Since I was 15 and young as pink wine

Taken work horse, then taken hide

Cut from the bloom and mending the bite

You tried to suck me dry

Sink your teeth in and imprison me

But I’d die before you take your bite

Cross my heart and hope to keep alight

Hope to keep alight

Hope to keep alight
