"Cold Damn Vampires" lyrics - ZACH BRYAN

[Chorus:]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire of the things that they can take
Don't let 'em steal your hope, child, and turn it something green
Damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Ties to this machine

You moved to the city, girl, to make something of yourself
But them vampires are groping you every night on East and 12th
So every night, you carry a knife and some spray
To keep them bloodsuckers at least a four-inch blade away
A four-inch blade away

[Chorus:]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire of the things that they can take
But don't let 'em steal your hope, child, and turn it something green
So damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Ties to this machine

So you wanna be an artist, make something that makes sense
'Cause them vampires will take every ounce of blood that you can give
Never let 'em speak, and don't let 'em tell a lie
Let 'em know that you're walking alone to a warm home tonight

[Chorus:]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire of the things that they can take
But don't let 'em steal your hope, child, and turn it something green
Damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Ties to this machine

[Bridge:]
But there's hope for the mortal to stay clear and stay true
So look out for the vampires that are on the hunt for you
'Cause they're on the hunt for you

[Chorus:]
Them damn cold vampires been keeping me awake
Tryna build an empire of the things that they can take
But don't let 'em steal your hope, child, and turn it something green
Damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Ties to this machine
Ties to this machine
