Vena Cava 8
VENA CAVA 8: I MISS YOU, IT'S BEEN SO LONG
I miss you,
it's been so long.
How are you?
I'm fine,
I've been out here so long,
I remember us together,
so green there,
it's so black here.
I just wonder how long I can go on,
I think of you always,
I think of mother,
but dear God,
is he okay?
I live in dreams now,
and try to remember every detail of the past,
I try to make a perfect memory,
of everything that has gone before,
now so far away from life.
How many in the hall now?
Falling off the Earth,
like old men with no history.
Do you remember was I ever there,
or am I dreaming?
You must remember for me,
because I'm losing days,
help me, all that breach that is too far,
I cannot make it.
One step, two steps, three steps,
am I breathing?
Is this a god I see,
crawling to my grave,
on hands and knees,
and falling, falling, falling,
out of light and into darkness,
hold me, hold me,
ghosts of love and lovely eyes,
can hold me in the sun,
when life is done,
my angel, are you there?
Can you hear me?
I am far away,
but not too far for dreams,
your face, your face,
grab me by the hand,
I'll show you where I am,
darkness, darkness,
feel the wind,
my angel, are you there?
Hear my breathing,
I'm near you, waiting, waiting,
Silly, smiling, smiling,
sound is everywhere.
Now they take me down the stairs,
slowly, slowly,
hold me, hold me, here.
Is that my judge?
He sees me.
I miss you,
it's been so long.
How are you?
I'm fine,
I've been out here so long,
I remember us together,
so green there,
it's so black here.
I just wonder how long I can go on,
I think of you always,
I think of mother,
but dear God,
is he okay?
I live in dreams now,
and try to remember every detail of the past,
I try to make a perfect memory,
of everything that has gone before,
now so far away from life.
How many in the hall now?
Falling off the Earth,
like old men with no history.
Do you remember was I ever there,
or am I dreaming?
You must remember for me,

One step, two steps, three steps,

Is this a god I see,
crawling to my grave,
on hands and knees,
and falling, falling, falling,
out of light and into darkness,
hold me, hold me,

slowly, slowly,
hold me, hold me, here.
Is that my judge?
He sees me.
