Aftermath

No sound, no warning
Just air between the ground
The weight of something broken
But nothing falling down

We’re still here standing
Like we don’t know the end
Two shadows in the distance
That don’t know where to bend

No one gave an answer
No one called it off
Just silence in the open
Where everything is lost

I see your hands are shaking
Or maybe it is mine
There’s something in the space now
That wasn’t there in time

And nothing feels like victory
Nothing feels like peace
Just something left between us
That will never leave

No fire, no surrender
No one on their knees
Just two men in the silence
And everything we see

I thought I’d feel relief now
I thought I’d understand
But all I feel is distance
I can’t hold in my hands

You turn without a word now
I do the same, I guess
And every step is heavier
Than anything before this

If this is what it comes to
Then what was all of this for
We didn’t pull the trigger
But we’re not the same anymore

And nothing feels like victory
Nothing feels like peace
Just something left between us
That will never leave

No end, no beginning
No truth we can believe
Just two men walking slowly
With something underneathNo sound

No end
Just aftermath
