No reflection of you in me

 
Clothes as black as pitch; hair dark as night.  
In fear you find me, bloody, alive.  
Quick of dirty thoughts, hidden from your sight;  
You do not like us, but we don’t mind.
 
 
You hate us for our individuality,  
Because you yourself lack your own clarity.  
We live in the shadows;  
The sunlight is our enemy.  
Beneath a moon is where we belong;  
The lost children of an Eden long since gone.  
 
 
With palest skin and blackened eyes,  
We cherish the fear we cause; we love being despised.  
With cloaks dragging behind us, we sharpen our fangs;  
Our nails are nine inches, our songs only for the damned.  
 
 
Your rainbow has lost its colour;  
Rain washes away all your suns  
And in the end we are your nemesis,  
Because we are having so much fun.  
 
 
Go follow their path; we shall lurch along through this dead garden.  
We are bitter on the outside; our love is pure, your love purely stolen.  
Forget forget-me-nots and leave the carcass there to rot.  
We have fire in our veins.  We are found; you are lost.  
 
 
In the Devil’s eyes we are immortalized;  
You have no right to have any kind of effect on my life.  
Stay away from us or become covered in words drenched in filth;  
You keep putting us down, but we are standing still.  
 
 
We stand alone and think like a colony;  
We defy your social etiquette and your idea of society.  
Do what you have been taught;  
Follow footsteps, learn to walk.  
You are so quick to pass judgment,  
Whilst clearly knowing nothing at all.  
 
 
With witches and vampires we make a connection;  
No reflection,  
No reflection,  
No reflection,  
No reflection.  
 
 
You see no reflection when you look into my eyes;  
No part of you to relate to, no illusion of paradise.  
No morning glory; no have a nice day.  
We are worthless; we are depressing; we are miserable…  
So you say.  
 
 
I will say what I mean, without needing to be mean.  
Do you understand what I mean, when I tell you, you are so clean?  
You say I am worthless, but you are nothing.
A scream in the night lets you know we are singing.
Give me a dirty riff, run a nail down a window;  
In the end we all have to go,  
So let go of your ego.  
 
 
There is no reflection of you inside of me.  
There is no reflection of me inside of you.  
There is no reflection of the light that you seek,  
Because you cannot see the real me and you are see through.
