At 34, Machine Gun Kelly has never been afraid to lay his demons bare. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, MGK has shapeshifted over the years from a rapid-fire Midwest rapper to a punk-rock provocateur to a genre-blending artist who channels pain into melody. His sound now lives somewhere between alt-rock, emo pop, and spoken confessional poetry, and “Vampire Diaries” is one of his most introspective pieces yet.
Premiering ahead of his August 2025 album, Lost Americana, this track is pure inner turmoil. MGK turns the vampire myth into a metaphor for isolation, addiction, and craving freedom in a world that keeps him caged. It’s not just a song, it’s a slow scream from the shadows, echoing with pain, rebellion, and the desperate need to escape. Dive into Vampire Diaries lyrics by MGK below, and experience his passion for music.
Lyrics of Vampire Diaries by MGK
[Verse 1]
I Sleep Against The Bedroom Wall
The Sun Comes Out, And I Can’t Do Nothing At All
I Swear The Life I Live So Boring
I Don’t Know Why They Make It Look So Cool In Stories
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I Can’t Leave ’til It’s Night Time, And I Can’t Drink What I Want
Tried To Find The Silver Lining But It’ll Kill Me If I Touch
And Just Walkin’ In The Daylight Is Something I’ve Never Done
‘Cause I Was Born To Fly, But, Baby, I Would Die To Run, So
[Chorus]
Take, Take, Take Me Out
There’s So Much I Haven’t Seen, Don’t Let Me Rot Inside This Town
Take, Take, Take Me Out
I Know How It’s Gonna End, But It’s Too Late To Turn Around (Hey)
[Verse 2]
I Feel The Heat On My Skin, But I Don’t Care If It Hurts
Ah-ah (I Don’t Care If It Hurts, I Don’t Care If It Hurts)
Yeah, I’ve Found The Fountain Of Youth, It Turns Out It’s A Curse
Damn, Okay (Turns Out It’s A Curse)
I’ve Seen Every Cemetery, Never Been In The Church, Mm
I Put A Cross Around My Neck Just To Find Out If It Burns, So
[Chorus]
Take, Take, Take, Take Me Out
There’s So Much I Haven’t Seen, Don’t Let Me Rot Inside This Town
Take, Take, Take Me Out (Take Me Out)
I Know How It’s Gonna End, But It’s Too Late To Turn Around
[Bridge]
I Let My Fangs Show, Smile For The Cameras
Cut Both My Wings So No One Can Tell
Find Me In Twilight Turnin’ To Ashes
If It’s My Last Breath, I’m Happy As Hell
[Chorus]
Take, Take, Take Me Out (Take Me Out)
There’s So Much I Haven’t Seen, Don’t Let Me Rot Inside This Town
Take, Take, Take Me Out (Take Me Out)
I Know How It’s Gonna End But It’s Too Late To Turn Around (Hey, Yeah)
[Outro]
‘Cause I Was Born To Fly, But, Baby, I Would Die To Run
‘Cause I Was Born To Fly, But, Baby, I Would Die To Run
