When you've killed everyone else.
It used to be, a man like me
could travel around from town to town
drinking and feeding, with the humans all pleading.
When you are lying in your bed, drifting off to sleep.
I creep into your room, and stare at you without making a peep.
I squeeze your breast, i bite your neck, i steal the life from you.
I am after all a monster, what would you expect for me to do.
I won't lie beside you to cuddle, or read a nursery rhyme. Your blood calls to me only, to feed for all of time.
If human i were, a different stance i might have taken, But my soul is doomed, my thirst quenched, for I am the forsaken.
Don't make this sweet, not a romance, don't take a chance on me.
I will not love, I will not feel, You are my food, without a peel. My teeth are sharp, your skin is soft.
You are my flame, I am your moth. I am the cat, you all are mice, and that is why you pay the price.
The sickness has got a hold of me again. I don't know what to do.
I've got that thirst I cannot quench, unless i feed on you.
I promise not to drink it all, I wouldn't want you empty.
I wish you wouldn't flaunt your warmth, you know how much it tempts me.
Just a taste, a nibble now, i really must insist.
Stop that awful, loud screaming, you must not persist.
I've drunk you all, you're dead and cold, you asked for this, if only by small fraction.
When you tease a monster, you must give him satisfaction.
Think of the greatest time in your life.
Now, think about the worst.
Which is a stronger memory? Are there tears in your eyes?
Pain will always outshine pleasure. That is why i mix them together.
When i was a kid, the pain of it all was too much for me. I contemplated escape, but there was nowhere to go. No place felt like it would be safe. That was when i realized the pain was inside of me. I have carried it ever since. Shielding everyone else from it, feeding it, cleaning up after it. When it finally consumes me, where will it go? What will it do to the world?
