Lost in the Night

by Shadowdance

Where am I going, what have I done
And why can't I stay, out in the sun?

All I remember, is meeting a man
He offered me drinks, then took my hand
He led me outside, in back of the bar
Started kissing my neck, I thought "this has gone to far."

Then I woke the next evening
In a pool of blood
And a driving hunger
That was not understood.

And in I went, to that same bar
Asked a man for a ride home, in his car
Passed out at dawn, don't know what I'd done
Woke at night again, the man was gone. (dead)

Walking home, hungry again
Another man, stalked for the kill
Attacked him right there
Then couldn't get my fill.

What's wrong with me, I didn't used to be this way
Now I drink blood and shun the light of day
Perhaps you can help me, I told this doctor here
But instead I killed him and thought, "Get out of here."

Someday maybe I will understand
What happened the night out back of that bar
But for now I am driven by hunger and fear
And live in a cave, wanna see?, It's not far....
