Vampire in The Daylight

Verse
Feeling like a vampire now, it’s always dark,
Both inside and out, shadows leave their mark.
I wake before the dawn, just to slave away,
Locked in my box, wasting hours of the day.
Dark when I leave, and dark when I return,
The fire inside me, it starts to burn.
What’s left of my life is so short, so few,
Trapped in this system, I don’t know what to do.

Pre-Chorus
Is this my fate, to just survive?
In this endless grind, I’m barely alive.

Chorus
Am I dead? I feel it inside,
A vampire in daylight, no place to hide.
No time for me, no time to breathe,
Society’s chains, they won’t let me leave.
Am I dead? Just going through the motions,
Drowning in this sea of hollow emotions.
A vampire, never seeing the light,
Just another ghost in the fight.

Verse
My heart's gone cold, I’m numb to the core,
Another day, another task, just like before.
Sucking the life out of me as I punch the clock,
A coffin disguised as a suit and a lock.
I’ve lost all track of time, it slips away,
Every moment stolen from my hands each day.
What time is mine is too short, too few,
Can’t break these chains, I’ve got no clue.

Pre-Chorus
Is this the price of staying alive?
Just a shadow of myself, trying to survive.

Chorus
Am I dead? I feel it inside,
A vampire in daylight, no place to hide.
No time for me, no time to breathe,
Society’s chains, they won’t let me leave.
Am I dead? Just going through the motions,
Drowning in this sea of hollow emotions.
A vampire, never seeing the light,
Just another ghost in the fight.

Bridge
I see the light, but it’s always too far,
Like a prisoner chained to the gears of the machine we are.
Am I just a cog, am I just a tool?
They treat us like slaves, man, we’re playing the fool.
Is this all there is, this endless routine?
In the dark I’m left unseen.

Chorus
Am I dead? I feel it inside,
A vampire in daylight, no place to hide.
No time for me, no time to breathe,
Society’s chains, they won’t let me leave.
Am I dead? Just going through the motions,
Drowning in this sea of hollow emotions.
A vampire, never seeing the light,
Just another ghost in the fight.

Outro
I’m just a vampire in the light of day,
Bleeding out life, watching it slip away.
I’m left with no doubt, I’ll scream and shout,
But there’s no escape in this life’s cruel bout.
