my patriotic chore

We should go to sleep now,
You should stay the night.
I’ll be up to watch the world around us live and die.
Lying on the grass now,
Dancing for the stars.
Maybe one will look on down and tell us who we are.

We might fall

Now that we are older,
I remember you.
Reaching out to show me all the things that I must do.
Now that we are older,
I remember youth.
Now that we are close to death and close to finding truth.

We might fall
