Dead Alive

Reflected from the glass
My soul begins to fade
A waiting demon inside
Lying in a shallow grave

I am not human
I am not alive
So how can I
Still live a life

Lighter than the shadows
Darker than the sun
A growing emptiness
Has only just begun

I am not human
I am not alive
So how can I
Still live a life

Cravings lie deep
Inside empty veins
A madness in mind
Far greater than insane

I am not human
I am not alive
So how can I
Still live a life

A past unforgotten
Lies six foot deep
I cannot breathe
I cannot sleep

I am not human
I am not alive
So how can I
Still live a life

I am me
But someone else
To dead to be saved
To far gone for help

I am not human
I am not alive
So how can I
Still live a life

I am of the night
The moon and the stars
I am a vampire
Trapped behind life's bars

I am not human
I am not alive
But some how, someway
I still live this life
