Tiny Victories

Ghosts are still in our closets

Haunting us in our sleep

It's endless night

Waking dreams & sleepwalking days

Same as it's been all our youth

All of our lives

Fifty songs on, where's the change?

Where's the revelation?

Maybe we'll be somewhere soon

Away from the threats

Alone with our words in this ongoing war

In dog-eared photos

Embers of our past

There's still life here

There's still hope

All our yesterdays still live today

In broken mirrors

In collapsed dreams

Still, the alienating ravages of time

Won't keep us silent

We'll still be screaming

We're all fucked up

But we're not alone

We can find strength in each others' arms

We see flames rising

The seas retreating

We'll dance on the ruins of our broken lives

Our history is malleable

Our future is unwritten
