I'M A VAMPIRE

it used to be all sandcastles

and video nasties

but it's not that simple any more/

if you asked me why,

I couldn't divulge if I tried

tie dye days and the things we said are over/

I'm sorry, I overestimated myself and did it again,

repetition of the same old tricks/

well

here's one I made earlier

and I'm a vampire,

can you tell?

memory tells me I'm just your problem

and problems are parallel

but right now our wires are crossed,

costing us our little talks/

that's what I get for walking away, I guess/

"no rest for the wicked" they said

and it's only now that I know they weren't joking,

hoping my metaphorical fangs will fall off/

with the probability of soft porn and wasted weekends imminent

I become irrelevant,

living without your big big love and colour tv/

believe me, I'd love to

but it's not that simple, is it?

best intentions still lend themselves

to a means to an end

just like heaven you're not helping that cause

and you're talking to a man
who can just as easily turn into a bat
as save ourselves from this mess/

maybe we didn't help or maybe we got dealt a shit hand:

sad handshake, bloodshake, taking what's yours

just because I know what happened

and the worse thing is

that I don't care/

because I'm a vampire, can you tell?

well, I thought we'd be here for a while

but now I know

that I'm just your problem

and you're just mine

how this keeps happening is a mystery to me/

green tea and heated conversation can't save us now

so how about you take that crucifix you call compromise

'til the sun rises

over all the parties of tomorrow

and all the lonely people

learn from what we've done
