I'm like this all the time catch me staring at the walls/
I'm looking through dimensions at the elements involved/
All illusions and confusion it's the meaning in the mess/
It's the feeling in the flesh and the beating in the chest/
Rip a hole right through it the veil over vision/
Pull the nail out the coffin escaping from the prison/
Breaking DNA chains I say nurture over nature/
But I was born a night creature/
Some would call it hell but it's more a cold inferno/
Living as a man who is damned as nocturnal/
Some would call it bliss living like this/
It is what it is how I must exist/
See this is quite a common mood/
Seeing ideas in the drains and veins full of food/
But no fangs cuz it's rude it's strange but it's true/
It pains me to do what I do but I do/
Get that get that get that blood/
I'm like this when it's dark catch me staring at the moon/
There's something in the air and the night that's like a boon/
Wind pipe a weapon ya'll are under my protection/
I can cast my spells but I'm stuck in my condition/
Serve me garlic with a silver spoon/
drop a cross on my head like a cartoon at high noon/
I'm still kickin' I'm still neck pinchin'/
Have a visit with the grave like any good Christian/
Trying to bridge species ye have little faith/
Progressive paranormal her to innovate/
Renovate relocate hopefully before we seal our fate/
Before we learn to elevate/
I celebrate the star sky reaching through the portal/
High collar widows peak unkempt formal/
The blessing in the curse is I will never be normal/
But like a record of my lines I'm immortal/
