In dreams of wires you've grown tangled,
In your nmemonic streets where fog meets dawn
The taciturn vampire struggles for his wicked life,
Melodies that dress demise in lavish clothes start to die,
And don't you know? The devil's playing angel tonight

will water your withered,
and prove your pasts...

now, you come with foreign ills,
and as these hands break tenseness,
creaking wood comes crashing down,
now, all but your illusion pesters.

you tried to keep unbalanced,
tilling grave to prove your point,
but reason without calmness soon flexes,
clever victim, invisible menace roams
...out and over...

next yesterday, same yesteryear,
born from whims of bright screens,
you make your
