Theme

A song about self-deception and emotional loss, where the pain of a breakup is personified as a vampire that feeds on your suffering. The track explores the parasitic nature of grief and obsession, referencing insomnia, dread, and emotional vulnerability. It's an exorcism through ghoulish metaphors that chart the corrosive nature of attachment and the liberation that follows release.

Lyrics
Ripping through every poem Like a vampire should And it takes one to know 'em Like I knew you would In the middle of the night, it feeds In the middle of the night, it eats you Everybody knows Everywhere I go I can never run and I cannot hide I'm done crying Over someone like you I'm done crying I hope you're feeling it too now I'm done Crying Crying Now that sweet's gone sour Seeping down the cracks Mm, getting worse by the hour The vile rot attacks, oh In the middle of the night, it feeds In the middle of the night, it eats you Everybody knows Everywhere I go I can never run and I cannot hide I'm done crying Over someone like you I'm done crying I hope you're feeling it too, now I'm done Crying Crying Everybody knows Everywhere I go And I cannot wait until the day when I'm done crying Over someone like you I'm done crying I hope you're feeling it too, now I'm done crying (crying) Over someone like you I'm done crying (crying) I need somebody new now I'm done
