silencio

Walked three miles
on two broken knees
and looked everywhere
you said you'd be
I had forgotten
it was Halloween
I forgot what you said you'd be
I saw your ghost
in so many places
your painted smile
on so many faces
this one time
I almost asked
I could see it was
just a mask.
This one time I almost asked
I could see
it was just a mask.

Hot move on a cold night
whatever you were trying
you didn't do it right.
At least you're seizing the day,
if only it turned out a different way.

Sometimes the things that you want
sense that you do and announce that they don't.
You feel misunderstood.
It was something you wanted, not something you would.

The comfort of the retreat.
The shuffling sounds of shuffling feet.
Before any move you make,
are you totally sure it's totally safe?

A Friday night but Buttermilk's dead

Can't think of someplace to go instead

Sidecar is close but home's always cheaper
Get high and listen to "Don't Fear the Reaper."

It's been such a long week

thought I deserved something

took a long walk and came here for nothing

the walk's the same home

except only longer
scarier out

the winds are much stronger.
