Cold Damn Vampires

Them damn, cold vampires

Been keeping me awake

Tryna build an empire

Of things that they can take

Don't let 'em steal your hope, child

Turn it something green

Damn you and damn all

Your ties to this machine

Ties to this machine

You moved to the city, girl

To make something of yourself

But them vampires are groping you

Every night on East and 12th

So every night you carry

A knife and some spray

To keep them bloodsuckers at least

A four-inch blade away

A four-inch blade away

Them damn, cold vampires

Been keeping me awake

Tryna build an empire

Of the things that they can take

But don't let 'em steal your hope, child

Turn it something green

So damn you and damn all

Your ties to this machine

Ties to this machine

So you want to be an artist

Make something that makes sense

But them vampires will take every ounce

Of the blood that you can give

Never let 'em speak

Don't let 'em tell a lie

Let them know that you're walking alone

To a warm home tonight

Them damn, cold vampires

Been keeping me awake

Tryna build an empire

Of things that they can take

But don't let 'em steal your hope, child

Turn it something green

Damn you and damn all

Your ties to this machine

Ties to this machine

But there's hope for the mortal

To stay clear and stay true

Look out for the vampires

That are on the hunt for you

'Cause they're on the hunt for you

Them damn, cold vampires

Been keeping me awake

Tryna build an empire

Of things that they can take

But don't let 'em steal your hope, child

Turn it something green

Damn you and damn all

Your ties to this machine

Ties to this machine
