night falls
another dream you’re coming through my window
it’s worse than before
I can feel you standing in the room
now all I can hear
is the threatening silence
and the pounding rhythm of blood pumped through
60,000 miles of vessels
so I wait for you
to step through the darkness
I wait for you
to pull me close
close enough to feel
the sharp pain
from your sinking fangs
as you’re lost inside
deep within my veins
night falls
and I can hear the drops of blood hit the floor
a flowing river of precious fluid
seeping through the cracks in the boards
no one takes like you
you want more
yeah, you're always hungry
eager just to take it all from me
so I wait for you
to step through the darkness
I wait for you
to pull me close
close enough to feel
the sharp pain
from your sinking fangs
as you’re lost inside
deep within my veins
who invited you?
I can’t say that I remember
but you’re here for everything I am
who invited you?
I'll wait for your return while
I'm keeping secrets of crucifixes
wooden stakes and silver
day breaks
and tomorrow you’ll be gone
night falls
and I'll be someone else
