They Told Me

I entered this world much like every living thing I cried unapologetically, not really wanting to sing I grew up desiring the basic human needs It was never my intention to plant any seeds They told me “All the Worlds a Stage” So do what you can to engage As I grew older I began to desire another need It was always my intention to quench my feed I began to partake on what was available to me No one ever said It was an actual guarantee They told me “All the Worlds a Stage” So do what you can to stay out of the cage I followed their rules and remained unknown I knew this life would be lived alone I traveled to many lands far and wide All the while leaving many lives to hide They told me “All the Worlds a Stage” So do what you can to hide your age I played every part and every human I could The world was my stage where ever I stood I was everything from a Doctor to a mechanic I only fed on those I was told to, without causing a panic “All the Worlds a Stage” is all I ever heard And what I’m about to tell you might sound a little absurd Not every person you meet is living There’s the special kind that are unforgiving We truly are a rare kind of breed Especially when it comes to me wanting to feed I like to tell my victims this right before everything transpires “All the Worlds a Stage” for us vampires
