their minds are frayed
their abilities outplayed
you promise you're not a vampire
yet stare into the fire

your demons are other's gods
at their gods your mind unfogs
a frozen memory is hard to forget
a dying rosebud is hard to protect

rising and falling chests
tangled, barbed wire nests
idiots trying to beat their peers
if only for the sound of half-hearted cheers

the cold is stuck in your bones
the warmth is only for clones
loneliness is where your heart lies
everyone else lives while you're the one who dies
