Voluntary Vampires

from Bloodstains by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

I don’t remember how it feels,
‘Cause you flinch at touch, this curse is all too much,
We’re out of luck.
And it’s all consuming, I’d say we’re doomed in life,
Which is to say, I generally think that all the time,
Almost forgotten what it’s like, as we...

Spend all of our time trapped under sunlight,
And we crawl from the crypt in the dead of night,
Thirst for a taste of another life, as voluntary vampires.

We hang our wards around the walls,
Arcane protective systems, to keep ourselves inside,
We all know why,
'Cause there’s nothing left, they say we’re close to death,
Which is to say, that’s what it feels like in my head,
A familiar sense of dread, as we…

Spend all of our time trapped under sunlight,
And we crawl from the crypt in the dead of night,
Thirst for a taste of another life, as voluntary vampires.

And they say it’s getting worse, the hunger’s going to really start to hurt,
We’ll never learn.
