Energy Vampires
from Sore Losers by Strike To Survive
lyrics
Rung out longevity on modern chemistry and antiquated memories
So please excuse this muse from singing dizzy spells
And breathing hot air out of rotting mouths
Curtains lift exposing patters shift contorting spines like worms
Wrapped in nerves
Fingernails of dirt and blame
What a shame
Growing pains in my veins
I collect them like brain slaves until everything goes down the drain
I give these problems such long names
I’m stuck, stuck on all fours
I got spirits in my frontal lobe
I can control the hate inside of me like an extension of my body
My minds dim light shines florescent omnipresence
I can see your blood and guts
Circling vultures interrogating my subconscious
I can tell its not enough
Dear vampires of energy:
Quit sucking the life out of me.
So please excuse this muse from singing dizzy spells
And breathing hot air out of rotting mouths
Curtains lift exposing patters shift contorting spines like worms
Wrapped in nerves
Fingernails of dirt and blame
What a shame
Growing pains in my veins
I collect them like brain slaves until everything goes down the drain
I give these problems such long names
I’m stuck, stuck on all fours
I got spirits in my frontal lobe
I can control the hate inside of me like an extension of my body
My minds dim light shines florescent omnipresence
I can see your blood and guts
Circling vultures interrogating my subconscious
I can tell its not enough
Dear vampires of energy:
Quit sucking the life out of me.
