Vampire Lyrics - Sebadoh

Tried to keep her down beside but last night I set her free 

Free to let her spirit fly, left my choking stare behind 

Maybe if her will could grow, she might feel the need to leave 

Dying in my shadow, doubting I could ever let her be herself 

A sinful reflection of me, will I ever set her free? 

My love has shut her up, break the spirit I don't understand 

'Cause even as we're walking hand in hand, my life cuts her up 

An evil way to build me strong, a sad judge and so uptight 

It's too bad, I'm so hung up 

I ask a simple question when I know the answer right 

I ask me if I love her as I tell her it's all right 

But nothing in my life would fit 

I turned into an idiot 

Vampire, draining her desire 

Vampire, smother her with love 

When nothing in her life would fit, she came upon an idiot 

Vampire, vampire
