Settling in here for the long haul Can’t hide forever is what they say In with 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 buzzard 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, we have survived We came back to homes we don’t recognize But we return here all together
Moments of clarity here are short-lived Bled through the bandages again 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, we have survived We came back to homes we don’t recognize But we return 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 The 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, we have survived Who we've become you won’t recognize But we became them all together All together
