Cold Damn Vampires Lyrics

[Chorus]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire of the things that they can take

Don't let 'em steal your hope, child, and turn it something green
Damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Ties to this machine

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empirе of the things that they can take
But don't lеt 'em steal your hope, child, and turn it something green
So damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Ties to this machine

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire of the 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
Ties to this machine

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire of the 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

Ties to this machine
Ties to this machine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Here is the quote from the beginning of the video –
“No I uh, I put up that video like 3 days ago and my dad calls me, he’s like a God fearing man y'know. And he, uh, he says ‘Hey son… I’m really proud of you and all, but, you’ve been saying the F word a lot, y'know, and we like had like a moral, moral conversation and he – I guess I mostly agreed with him, but, after I put that video up like 3 of closest friends called me and they were like – 'Hey like is your health ok? Are you good? Is someone – are you good?’ And I just didn’t know what I said. And the reason I wrote this whole song was just because Verizon Wireless had given me a bill that was way overpriced.”
