Intro [Vocals: whispered, then growl the last line] Lights are on but nobody's home Running on fumes, down to the bone If you want blood, you can't have mine [Snarl] Not. This. Time. Verse 1 [vocals low, gravelly, almost spoken] Wake up already dead, coffee don't touch it Phone screams again, another crisis, I clutch it Smile wired on while my skull's flashing red Every "quick favor" splits open my head You talk, I bleed, I'm miles underwater Pour from my veins till there's nothing but slaughter Pre-Chorus [clean but strained, building] I give and you take, yeah, that's how it's been Don't know where I end and where you begin Chorus [belted, gritty edge] ENERGY VAMPIRES! SUCKING THE LIFE OUTTA ME! DRAIN ME DRY! LEAVE ME ON EMPTY! GOT FANGS IN MY PLANS! FANGS IN MY PEACE! YOU FEED OFF MY LIGHT AND I CHOKE ON THE GRIEF! I'M DONE BLEEDING JUST TO KEEP YOU WARM! ENERGY VAMPIRES! ROT IN YOUR STORM! Verse 2 [Galloping riff. venomous, spit the consonants] Said "no" in my gut but "yeah sure" in my teeth Compass shattered, can't tell up from beneath Your problems on loop, my dreams in a hearse I’m a corpse with a plug and a dying pulse You call it love but it tastes like debt And I’m overdrawn with nothing left Pre-Chorus [raw whisper to scream] I set myself on fire to keep you lit [Scream] ASHES IN MY CHEST! THAT'S ALL I GET! Chorus [Repeat with backing growls on "sucking" and "bleeding"] ENERGY VAMPIRES! SUCKING THE LIFE OUTTA ME! DRAIN ME DRY! LEAVE ME ON EMPTY! GOT FANGS IN MY PLANS! FANGS IN MY PEACE! YOU FEED OFF MY LIGHT AND I CHOKE ON THE GRIEF! I'M DONE BLEEDING JUST TO KEEP YOU WARM! ENERGY VAMPIRES! ROT IN YOUR STORM! Bridge [start clean and cold, get rougher each line, end in a fry scream] Maybe I let you, maybe I stayed too kind Gave you the keys to my power, my time, my mind You took every inch while I drew all the lines Called it connection, but it was a slow crime I was a sunrise you treated like noon Burned through my daylight, left me a moon All of your chaos dressed up as need Watering your garden while I'm choking on weeds But I'm boarding up windows, nailing the door Harsh: What you call selfish, I CALL SELF WORTH! No more free rent in my head or my chest I'm carving my name off your emergency list Candle's still burning, but it's finally for ME! Fry scream: NO MORE GHOST IN THE MIRROR STARING BACK AT ME! Final Chorus [controlled rasp] NO MORE VAMPIRES SUCKING THE LIFE OUTTA ME! I'M CUTTING THE LINE! TAKING MY ENERGY! RIP THOSE FANGS FROM MY PLANS! FANGS FROM MY PEACE! I WANT MY LIGHT BACK! I’M DONE WITH THE GRIEF! NOT BLEEDING FOR FREE JUST TO KEEP YOU WARM! ENERGY VAMPIRES! I'M WALKING OUT OF YOUR STORM! Outro [clean, but with a smoker's rasp on the last word] Recharging slow, but the power's mine First time in years... I’m feeling alive
