"pai"

"i miss you

i guess that i should"

(counting crows, raining in baltimore)

..



morning becomes dark and empty

as i wake up to the day

to find the scratched hands and words

that have lost you along the way



would you have stayed if i'd dreamt harder?

could you have had another try?


in dreams reality is kind

and pain no more than a sigh





..













today only i will be a child

with no possible time-lapse

no shame or masked fears




- i miss you always beyond this silence


this trail of memories


this blood of tears















...

("day comes up sicker than a cat
something's wrong that is that

mr. somewhere missing somewhere
never did figure just how much

a boat from the river takes you out
'cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
you take the tide, any tide, any tide
like there isn't gonna be any tide

mr. somewhere missing somewhere
never did figure just how much
missing somewhere
never did figure just how much

a world like tomorrow wears things out
it's hard enough to get what's yours for now
and the hardest words are spoken softly
softly look, no hands upon

nr. somewhere missing somewhere
never did figure just how much
missing somewhere
never did figure just how much

now the milkman beats you to the door
that was once a home, home no more

mr. somewhere, missing somewhere
couldn't get the calendar to stop
missing somewhere,
never did figure just how much
missing somewhere,
never will admit just how much ")
