Out in nature, we're all in danger,
The sun sets so slowly.
I see a shadow shaped like you,
Better to avoid that black smoke.
Like a mirage, I'm tempted or mad,
Hellbent on finding a piece of peace.
So, I walk towards this vacant version of my memory;
You stand before me in villainy.
And you're scaring me.

Like a vulture from the night, you pick through my carcas with such wicked delight,
I'm your breakfast, lunch and dinner,
With this find, you're such a winner.
You smack your lips and chew my chunks,
It would be cannibalism if it wasn't love.
It would be cannibalism if it wasn't love.

The heat erupts within my bones and vessels,
You tarnished all that we ever trusted.
Licking your fingers in the oasis of my offal;
This carnage is brutal, intimately awful.
You never cared how much you took from me,
What's new?
A vampire can only go so long before he's craving red running through blue.

Like a vulture from the night, you pick through my carcas with such wicked delight,
I'm your breakfast, lunch and dinner,
With this find, you're such a winner.
You smack your lips and chew my chunks,
It would be cannibalism if it wasn't love.
It would be cannibalism if it wasn't love.

And I breathe heavily, sand sits on my lips,
The desert's wind burns like ice.
Could this be all that we ever fear?
It's disappointing, it's not nice.

Like a vulture from the night, you pick through my carcas with such wicked delight,
I'm your breakfast, lunch and dinner,
With this find, you're such a winner.
You smack your lips and chew my chunks,
It would be cannibalism if it wasn't love.
It would be cannibalism if it wasn't love.
