Zach Bryan - Cold Damn Vampires lyrics

Them damn cold vampires
Been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire off things
That they can take
But don't let 'em steal your hope, child
And turn it something green
Damn you and damn all your
Ties to this machine
Your ties to this machine

You moved to the city, girl
To make something of yourself
But them vampires are groping you every
Night on East and 12th
So every night you carry a
Knife and some spray
To keep them bloodsuckers at least
A four-inch blade away
A four-inch blade away

Them damn cold vampires
Been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire off things
That they can take
But don't let 'em steal your hope, child
And turn it something green
So damn you and damn all
Your ties to this machine
Your ties to this machine

So you wanna be an artist
Make something that makes sense
'Cause them vampires will take
Every ounce of
The blood that you can give
Never let 'em speak and don't
Let 'em tell a lie
Let 'em know that you're walking alone
To a warm home tonight

Them damn cold vampires
Been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire off things
That they can take
But don't let 'em steal your hope, child
And turn it something green
Damn you and damn all your
Ties to this machine
Your ties to this machine

But there's hope for the mortal
To stay clear and stay true
So look out for the vampires
That are on the hunt for you
Cause they're on the hunt for you

Them damn cold vampires
Been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire off things
That they can take
But don't let 'em steal your hope, child
And turn it something green
Damn you and damn all your
Ties to this machine
Your ties to this machine
Your ties to this machine
