Big Thief — Vampire Empire — lyrics
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead
I’m not quiet, you’ve been quiet, just receiving what you said
Reeling feeding feeling filled by everything you fed
I see you as you see yourself through all the books you read
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease
{Chorus}
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the truth
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing but the proof
I am empty ’til she fills
Alive until she kills
Under the vampire empire, I’m a fish and she’s my gills
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
I see you there collecting all your earthly power
Protecting and dissecting ’til you empty every hour
We jump into the pond and then we come under the shower
We lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower
I wanted to see you naked
I wanted to hear you scream
I wanted to kiss your skin and your everything
I wanted to be your woman
I wanted to be your man
I wanted to be the one you could understand
{Chorus}
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the truth
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing but the proof
I am empty ’til she fills
Alive until she kills
Under the vampire empire, I’m the fish and she’s my gills
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
I walked into your dagger for the last time in a row
It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
You can’t seem to hold me here, you can’t seem to let me go
So I can’t find surrender, can’t keep control
You turn me inside out and then you want me outside in
You spin me all around and then you ask me not to spin
You say you want to be alone and then you want children
You wanna be with me baby, you wanna be with him
{Chorus}
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the truth
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing but the proof
I am empty ’til she fills
Alive until she kills
Under the vampire empire, I’m a fish and she’s my gills
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
