Where I belong

During the day a smile will get me by

Let me hide the darkness I hold inside

I'll pretend that I am meant to be with the living

When the sun is up I'll live the double life a while longer

But with the living is now where I belong

 

In the cemetery

6 feet below is where my name is marked

In there cemetery

Where I don't have to explain the feeling on the inside

Where I'll never have to hide the darkness inside of me

I'll smile in the sunlight for a little longer

Try to make it the real me

But the cemetery is where I truly belong

6 feet under where I don't have to explain the darkness inside

In the cemetery

Where the only judgment around me is my own

That's where I belong
