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 Your ties to this machine
