The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I move through the crowd
Like a coat of smoke
You laugh with your mouth
But your pulse gives hope

I watch how you look
At the dark by the door
You don’t know my name
But you want to know more

My hands stay still
My teeth stay hidden
I read every face
Like a map half-written

Say my name slow
Let the room go thin
I can taste the doubt
When your fear comes in

The night leans close
And the floorboards hum
I’m already there
Before you run

Feel me out
Feel me out
I’m already near

Feel me out
Feel me out
I feed on the fear

One more step
One more step
Into the black and gold

Feel me out
Feel me out
Before I take hold

You wear your faith
Like a silver chain
I know that shine
Can’t stop the rain

I’ve crossed your town
In a borrowed skin
Seen your secrets bloom
Seen your walls cave in

I don’t need a knife
I don’t need a fight
I just wait in the hush
Till you lean toward the night

Say my name slow
Let the room go thin
I can taste the doubt
When your fear comes in

The night leans close
And the floorboards hum
I’m already there
Before you run

Feel me out
Feel me out
I’m already near

Feel me out
Feel me out
I feed on the fear

One more step
One more step
Into the black and gold

Feel me out
Feel me out
Before I take hold

In every window
I find a ghost of you
In every heartbeat
I hear the truth

If you come closer
I’ll let you see
I’m not the monster
You made of me

I’m the hunger
Behind your skin
The long, cold answer
Waiting within

[Final Chorus]
Feel me out
Feel me out
I’m already near

Feel me out
Feel me out
I feed on the fear

One more step
One more step
Into the black and gold

Feel me out
Feel me out
Before I take hold
