In the darkness of the night I lay among the dead Tucked between the tombstones I gaze upon the stars For the briefest moment I wonder where you are Only to remember You really aren't that far You're right here next to me And embedded in my heart As much as I pretend I can't outrun the truth Despite your presence with me You still sleep beneath the grass.

Where the Fallen Slumber
In the darkness of the night I lay among the dead Tucked between the tombstones I gaze upon the stars For the briefest moment I wonder where you are Only to remember You really aren't that far You're right here next to me And embedded in my heart As much as I pretend I can't outrun the truth Despite your presence with me You still sleep beneath the grass.
