Zero Visibility

Settling in here for the long haul Can't hide forever's what they say In like the wind, out with a bang Meanwhile nothing has changed With each word slowly uttered A storm brews in her eyes A missed shot at the buzzer Time whether wasted or well-spent is still time We are not brave We are not wise We stand at the end of the longest lines But we stand here all together We have been damned But we have survived We came back to homes we don't recognize But we returned here all together Moments of clarity here are short-lived Bled through the bandages again And when is a lie no longer white But black as a day without sun Passed out in a gutter Woke up in your arms Nursed back and recovered The same touch that heals me Left a scar We are not brave We are not wise We stand at the end of the longest lines But we stand here all together We have been damned But we have survived We came back to homes we don't recognize But we returned here all together And the world works in ways that I never Have claimed to know We got out in front of the weather But it followed And view from here isn't better But it's all we know It's all we know We are not brave We are not wise We stand at the edge of the border lines But we stand here all together We have been damned But we have survived And who we've become you won't recognize But we became them, all together All together
