Analysis of We the Vampires
Christian 1983 (VA)
Was then a hopeful brat
Was an optimist
Thought we’d all blossom perfectly
My optimism fed into this hard
becoming indolent
And so I spiral
Inward a mile
And slowly reveal
A tragic autophile
I unknowingly carry “Americas” bags
A privileged past, I’m it’s successor
Demographics still in rags
Ghostly Vampires, their oppressors
It’s no wonder I feel this way
My demographic so insolent
It was then as it is today
And so I hate that I’m indolent
