A Nuclear Half-Life

Meet me where we’ve always waited

The exit’s set and I’ll bring everything

I still wonder why you’re never frightened too

With one misstep there’s nothing left for you

It was a long drive

A nuclear half-life

Or, one more chance to stay alive

With no one that we knew

Leaving while the streets are empty

The chanced regrets, but there’s no empathy

And I wonder what’s in front of me

The sun’s well set and I can hardly see

It was a long drive

But it took that long to realise

There’s always chance to come alive

And start a life brand new
