The Vampyre of Slumberland Lyrics
The bus pulls away from the Midnight Station and
I don't know what to do with all this frustration
I'm beginning to concede and my life is utter disarray
I can't find a reason to be thankful I awoke today
So maybe I'll stand waiting for you to draw a line or
Remain star crossed and cashing in on borrowed time
Wishing that I'd never have to let you go
Knowing I'll never relax and just enjoy the fucking show
With my eyes on the prize and my hands on the past
I want to meet the one responsible for allowing this last
'Cause I live each day one second at a time
And since you've been gone it's myself I can't seem to find
I know I'm in here somewhere but I can't seem to pinpoint where
And madness takes root knowing these thoughts will always be right there
Laughing, mocking, prodding, haunting me as I sleep
Sinking, falling, and drowning in an abyss so deep
I find myself but I'm on the brink, and oh god this hurts like hell
I guess I'll just have to learn to enjoy losing which is just as well
Cause I'll take my seat with the precious others, the few who are just like me
Too nice to sink to such a low, and content inside our dreams
I will have concocted a world in almost perfect condition
Where you are by my side and that alone is worth the price of admission
But I'm abandoning ambition and reeling from the guilt creeping up inside of me
To let me know I'm more than just a fake smile and "winning" personality
There's a romantic side, loving and angelic
And then there's the other side: evil and demonic
One that comes out when I'm all alone at night
Hell, he'd probably come out even if you WERE by my side
And that's the thing that hurts
That I'm not always lovable
That I'm not always sane
That I'm not always going to listen to the good side of my brain
Now I shoot without warning
And I cry when I'm alone
I wanna live inside my memories:
A world where you're not gone
But alarms bring in the pain of morning
And this cycle will never end
That's why I hide from the mirrors my mourning
Reminds me that I'm broken and this close to giving in
I don't know what to do with all this frustration
I'm beginning to concede and my life is utter disarray
I can't find a reason to be thankful I awoke today
Remain star crossed and cashing in on borrowed time
Wishing that I'd never have to let you go
Knowing I'll never relax and just enjoy the fucking show
I want to meet the one responsible for allowing this last
'Cause I live each day one second at a time
And since you've been gone it's myself I can't seem to find
And madness takes root knowing these thoughts will always be right there
Laughing, mocking, prodding, haunting me as I sleep
Sinking, falling, and drowning in an abyss so deep
I guess I'll just have to learn to enjoy losing which is just as well
Cause I'll take my seat with the precious others, the few who are just like me
Too nice to sink to such a low, and content inside our dreams
Where you are by my side and that alone is worth the price of admission
But I'm abandoning ambition and reeling from the guilt creeping up inside of me
To let me know I'm more than just a fake smile and "winning" personality
And then there's the other side: evil and demonic
One that comes out when I'm all alone at night
Hell, he'd probably come out even if you WERE by my side
That I'm not always lovable
That I'm not always sane
That I'm not always going to listen to the good side of my brain
And I cry when I'm alone
I wanna live inside my memories:
A world where you're not gone
And this cycle will never end
That's why I hide from the mirrors my mourning
Reminds me that I'm broken and this close to giving in
