Vampires Are Real

"Dear Propagandhi
I am writing to let you know
How much damage your mus-"

First came the day that you were born
Now comes the day you find out why

Vampires are real
They'll suck the life right out of you
But they can't help themselves
These creatures, they've been turned into
Besides, it's a two-way street
You must invite them in, that is the rule!
So when they sink their teeth
Don't bother feigning outrage at your fresh puncture wounds, uh

First came the day that you were born
Now comes the day you find out why

Now bring it in
Everybody, take a knee
Some folks hate themselves
And in their self-loathing, come to believe
That someone else must pay
Must be diminished to ease their pain
We must show them love despite their designs on our jugular veins

Now your faith is looking cavalier
Red flags receding in the rearview mirror
Any fool could see how this would end
They built you up just to tear you to shreds

"All is clouded by desire
As the fire is clouded by the smoke
As the mirror is clouded by the dust
All desire seeks to blind the soul"

Put your torches and pitchforks away
The morning sun will come dispel the dark
Just leave it to the cold, hard light of day
Before you drive a stake through someone's heart

And take a look into that mirror
What do you see there?
On our best days, we reflect
Other times, we disappear

I hope you can see yourself
Or pretty soon, you're gonna have no one else
