Forever Or A Day
written by: Jak Locke

version 2:
from The Renovated Enervated (2002 July 20) (2:28)
Where there used to be a laugh, a silence lingers
The car we used to cruise is far away
Once again we feel time's icy fingers
Years from months from weeks from a few short days

Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that was gained is on the outs, that's what it is all about

Where there used to be a kiss, a cigarette rests
The hair where hands flowed through covered with bleach
Relationship we built, another fine mess
Once so close forever now out of reach

Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that we gained is on the outs, that's what it is all about

Responsibility, a thing of the past
Commitment, a mark of a time long gone
Impossible these days for something to last
Past the time from when it was first begun

Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that was gained is on the outs
Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that was gained is on the outs, that's what it is all about

version 1:
from Rot (1999 October 18) (2:08)
Where there used to be a laugh, a silence lingers
The car we used to cruise is far away
Once again we feel time's icy fingers
Years from months from weeks from a few short days

Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that was gained is on the outs, that's what it is all about

Where there used to be a kiss, a cigarette rests
The hair where hands flowed through covered with bleach
Relationship we built, another fine mess
Once so close forever now out of reach

Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that we gained is on the outs, that's what it is all about

Responsibility, a thing of the past
Commitment, a mark of a time long gone
Impossible these days for something to last
Past the time from when it was first begun

Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that was gained is on the outs
Those lifelong friends how quick they end as soon as we go different routes
A dead romance, no second chance
All that was gained is on the outs, that's what it is all about
