As I gaze into your dull, lifeless eyes
I can’t help but smile through the tears I cry
For surely now you are in a better place
Then you were at the start of these horrid days
And even though you are so far away
Let’s pretend the stars are ours for today
For when the morning comes and dawn awakes
I’ll be alone with the rain’s chorus on my windowpane
But falling was never something that I grew up with
Though courage kept my head above those myths
That someday we would all fade to nothing
If life was ever gracious enough to be trusting
Reminders how there can be no silhouette
For those fleeting spirits of the dead
They said down was all I ever grew
Maybe I’ll start up with the absence of you
