Vampires Only Come out at Midnight - Protagonist

Driving wooden stakes through black hearts

The clock strikes midnight

The dye has been cast

And the sun sets once again

Broken records spin love songs till dawn

Press repeat on «Black Celebration»

It’s the same old song and dance

The needle scratches and the record skips

Everything matters more to me

I find the beauty in everything

And I’m trying hard to let go

Our scars are here to remind us that our past was real

Everything is quickly fading

And I don’t want to sit here waiting

For life to pass me by

I want to be acquainted with the night

And find the solemn places where I can hide

Screaming to myself so loud

The white blisters in my throat, they hold me back

Can you hear me screaming?

Turning whispers into shouts

And I write these songs hoping

My words will help me through the night;

Pens are daggers and daggers swords

I’m using ink as blood and I’m not the only one

And the record skips, and the records skips

Standing here with this dagger in my hand

The broken record skips and it tells me love is dead

The sun has turned it’s back on me once again

Broken mirrors shed no reflections

Just imperfections

These broken shards cut me up

No one can see me;

I find the beauty in everything

And I want you to know that I hate growing up

And watching people come and go

I’m counting angels as they fall
