In the mirror I see nothing
I turn nothing into something
And I love the light
But it hurts so good so bright
I looked into the mirror
Everything got clearer
I can’t see reflections
I’m a vampire, deception

Stake 2 my heart
Break me apart
No time for games you say
I’m waiting night and day
You can’t trust me
I just lost you
Invite me in
And it’ll cost you

You fill me, my deficit
Without you, I am lost
Frozen cold, in the frost
Frozen cold, in the frost
Stay with you, at any cost
