Vampire
Dominic Fike Lyrics

I only showed up to tell you
I'm here just to let you know

Everyone at this party's a vampire
We're all fake and using each other for our own gain

This ain't red wine
This is not what it appears to be

We're all food for the bloodsuckers
We're all being drained of our energy by those around us

Moving up under the moonlight
We're playing this game of life in the dark

Like the vampires
Just like bloodsuckers prey on their victims, we're all preying on each other

Baby, careful inside where you step
Be cautious of the people you associate with

Can you feel the weight of their eyes on your neck?
Can you sense the pressure and judgment of those around you?

Passing me, rolling way down, descending the stairs
People are moving on without you and leaving you behind

And the whole room is watching while pretending to dance
Everyone's eyes are on you while they fake happiness

It was close 'cause I don't know if you're stood any chance
You barely made it out of there, but it's unclear if you'll survive this lifestyle

On your own right, I know you didn't make any plans
It seems like you're aimlessly wandering through life

And when the clock strikes twelve at night, you be doing hella white
When things get rough, you turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms

With someone you don't even like, talking 'bout your life
You're sharing your deepest secrets with people who don't truly care about you

One, two
Counting down

Are we dead? Is this really red wine?
Is this reality, or are we just pretending?

Were you feeling left out? Ah, yeah
Do you feel like you don't belong?

(Uh) take me back when I'm feeling stressed out
I want to go to a time where things were simpler

'Cause it's nearing that time
Things are getting worse and time is running out

They can tell that your mind is a mess
People can see that you're struggling

Take someone you don't even like to your bed
You're using sex as a means of escape

When it's over, you roll out, you come down the stairs
Afterwards, you feel even more alone

And there's no sign, the party vanished into thin air
All of the fake happiness is gone, and you're left with emptiness

Just like a ghost town, your best friends weren't even there
You realize that those who you thought were close to you are no longer there for you

And the whole time you realize you don't even care
You're numb to everything going on around you

When the alarms strikes seven like, putting on your feather-white
When it's time to face the day, you put on a mask to hide your true emotions

Bed of white lies, last night was a set up
You're hiding behind lies to make everything seem okay, but deep down you know it's not
