*Great Loves*

Great loves just won’t go away.

Get out of my head,

I found a bigger, greater love instead.

You don’t mean anything to me.

Another forgotten memory,

That used to mean so much to me.

Now another never meant to be.

Stop haunting me.

*For The Sake Of Argument*

Take it easy on me.

Remember it's still just me.

Though I might-a gone wrong, it’s not all that wrong at all,

its not all that wrong at all.

Oh watch what you say,

It's been a long hard day,

You could turn it around,

Or make it worse with a few words, make it worse with your words.

There’s no need to fight,

I know that your right.

And I'm over that line,

And its time we had it out, and its time we let things out.

Nothing left to say.

So I meet her halfway.

Then we think to ourselves,

Were we really arguing about what we were arguing about?

So let it all out, just let it all out, lay it on me, lay it all on me.

*Keep It From The Man*

You gotta keep it from the man.

You'd better run while you still can.

Head straight down to the underground.

Down below where you won’t be found.

Cause I can hear them, and they’re on their way.

The party’s over and you gotta pay.

Do whatever you can to keep it from the man.

No more lies, no more alibis, those secrets you keep locked inside.

You’re exposed now, you’ve got no disguise. No place to turn, nowhere to hide. It’s over now, time to realize, that you’ll never make it out alive,

All their money that you burned, they want more than that in return. Your broken bones and tired eyes, calluses, and a troubled mind.

Cause you are what they made you, and they made you just to break you.

You are what they made you, and they made you just to break you. That’s if they can.

*Coffee And Cigarettes*

Another coffee, and another cigarette, another glorious morning waking up with you at your apartment. But, we didn't sleep last night, no we didn't sleep the night before, we probably just won't sleep anymore. Cause time's decaying away. Time is always weighing on my mind and there is never enough time. No. Tomorrow I'll be leaving. Yah I hate to go. I feel this thing we got is spinning out of control. But really who needs control, let's just let this thing roll, cause were having a good time, yah were having a great time. Dancing the night long to that Jimi Hendrix song, then you grabbed my hand and we ran all the way home. Strumming your guitar, a summer night in your backyard, you sang me a love song, and I sang you one too. Then another coffee and another cigarette, another glorious morning, waking up with you at your apartment. But we didn't sleep last night, no we didn't sleep at all.

*There is a Vampire Living on Parkstraat*

This one goes to the vampire living on Parkstraat who burns me with her evil gaze.

She sucks the blood right from my fingers. I fall so pale and drained.

Locked in a cage, down in her basement. Alone and cold, I shake.

I write my notes under a dim light, planning my next great escape.

And, all this suffering, and, all for what?

I pray it’s over soon, but I must have prayed too much.

Cause, I’m still here in the dark of my cell.

It’s been a year now, but I can’t tell.

Am I forgotten? Am I forgone?
