The Vampyre of Time and Memory Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want God to come and take me home
'Cause I'm all alone in this crowd
Who are you to me? Who am I supposed to be?
Not exactly sure anymore, mmm
Where's this going to? Can I follow through?
Or just follow you for a while?
[Chorus]
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love
[Verse 2]
Ain't no confusion here, it is as I've feared
The illusion that you feel is real
To be vulnerable is needed most of all
If you intend to truly fall apart
[Bridge]
You think the worst of all is far behind
The vampire of time and memories
Has died, I survived
I speak, I breathe, I'm incomplete
I'm alive, hooray
You're wrong again, 'cause I feel no love
I want God to come and take me home
'Cause I'm all alone in this crowd
Who are you to me? Who am I supposed to be?
Not exactly sure anymore, mmm
Where's this going to? Can I follow through?
Or just follow you for a while?
[Chorus]
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love
[Verse 2]
Ain't no confusion here, it is as I've feared
The illusion that you feel is real
To be vulnerable is needed most of all
If you intend to truly fall apart
[Bridge]
You think the worst of all is far behind
The vampire of time and memories
Has died, I survived
I speak, I breathe, I'm incomplete
I'm alive, hooray
You're wrong again, 'cause I feel no love
[Chorus]
Does anyone ever get this right?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love
I feel no love
Does anyone ever get this right?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love
I feel no love
