August Falls
______________

Still standing there
to count the cost
while all the color
bleeds at the loss

Still shocked to find your body without life
Silhoueted as August Falls

And all this time
I thought that I
was the master of my own fate
The halls we walk in
the doors we open
Reverberate

Soldiers clad in makeshift motion
Body blackened in macabre fashion
and I'll take the days you threw away
I'll take the life you wasted away

As August Falls down on us
As August Falls around us

The scene painted
Flowers by your grave
As far as I can tell
Nothing here has changed
Except questions in our minds
and answers we don't like
and we'll never understand

As August Falls around us
As August Falls down on us
