"Vampires" lyrics - ATMOSPHERE

ATMOSPHERE
"Vampires"

I do believe in monsters, I call them officers
I know enough to know to keep an eye on how I talk to ya
Some of y'all at peace, but even one too many
Still a decent number for the breeding of a beast

There's no release, she keeps, and teaches no remorse
More resembling of a thief than a horse
Plans, long range, attached to some things
And an arm that's strong, watch the song when it change

Nothing's strange, 'cause you know before you saw it
It's all the same, there ain't no such thing as flawless
But all I want is a little more security
A little more safety, a lot less uncertainty

Override the circuitry, the sun is your guide
Recognize the urgency, uncover your eyes
When I turn on the lights, she vanishes, hides
But I can feel her essence in the air

Acknowledge the night stalker, and regard her as a hunter
Count the amount she takes from the slumber
Summer ain't as hot as you would think
Martyr the child that wears the target for the teeth to sink

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This country's is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This city's is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

She lurks in the alleys, with a wrong reality
Allegiance, honor, keep it all in the family
Consumes the young, the blind, deaf, and the dumb
Drains the vein, and puts them under the thumb

She's on the television, celebrate status quo
Energy, push mute on the remote control
Break the beat, shatter the measures to pieces
All I've left is the breath, and the will to prove the thesis

It's difficult to figure out who to fear
Getting older by the minute, younger by the year
Will the hunger disappear, metabolism slow
World domination is the goal

Now let's gather the kids and take 'em out to the sticks
Teach em all how to live
Come, take my hand and walk with me
Before the vampires lock down the twin cities

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This country's is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This city's is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

Through the mud of the evening, she trudges
The name, the blood is tainted with traces of lovers
From up above, truth watches in bewilderment
Contemplating how he isn't really feeling it

Just another chapter of another moving picture
Another after-thought, looking for a new elixir
Well here she goes, even when she has to climb
Out the window, out of sight, out of mind

Look out for me below, because I've never been on top of nothing
Other than a stove, inside a pot of water bubbling and
Boiling between the puzzle and poison
Two games in the same toy bin

But when my time comes, you better beat the drums
And aim the guns at the ones that eat the young
If we let her, she'll do whatever takes to survive
You don't stop till you take her life

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This country's is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This city's is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

Check the orphanage

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This country's is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
All y'all are vampires, you eat your kids
