I am a vampire and you should fear me,
But not because I'll drink your blood.
You humans got the legends wrong.
I don't want your blood,
I want your emotions.
I want to drink in your joy,
Your hope, your sorrow,
Every last sensation.
I cannot experience it myself,
so I shall steal it from you.
You should fear me,
because I will take your humanity,
and all that will be left of you,
is a numb, empty creature; cold and distant.
You will be a vampire, too,
And they will fear you,
Just as they fear me.
but don't I fear everyone?

What more do you want from me?
I've given away my time, my hope, my trust,
And you stole everything that remained.
Now nothing is left inside me,
but you came back for more.
I don't have a **** thing,
I'm just as empty as your head,
and as shattered as your soul.
Nothing remains, but the pain of what's lost.

I know you,
You claim you want happiness,
You want romance and joy,
Not the broken people.
Then tell me why,
Tell me why all my
most popular writing
Is about pain and suffering?
I mean no offense. I'm just saying...

They say that a preacher's daughter
is the most rebellious, immoral.
Daddy raised me to be a good girl.
To believe in God and to be wholesome.
I grew up in a strict household.
Don't make the preacher look bad.
Well, I stopped believing in god,
and I broke under the pressure
of the high moral standards.
The preacher doesn't take kindly
to his little girl forsaking his god.
The preacher's daughter
isn't so chaste anymore.
Somehow I went and became everybody's fool.

Maybe if I turn the music up loud enough,
I won't hear the silence in my head,
Or feel the emptiness inside.
That's what music is, right?
It fills the holes,
A dose of emotion for the emotionless.

There are monsters in this world.
They just aren't what we thought
when were young and innocent.
Their sly smiles and coy grins
are not pointy toothed and rotten.
Their teeth are white and straight
and you can never see their true intentions.
Shadowed minds and twisted souls
do not reflect on the outside anymore.

Are we still human?
Maybe, we're too broken.
Too lost, too far gone,
to be considered human.
Are we still human?
After all that's said is done.
Maybe it's just not right.
It's not okay not to be okay.
Are we still human,
if at night, we forget how to feel?
Are we still human,
When we can't breathe anymore?
Are we still human,
When we've given up hope?
Are we still human?
Because I feel like an empty shell.
