It's been us, making it through all our lives

And I
Can't help but think of how cruel it would have been

Without you by my side

I can feel how we've changed

I can feel who we've become

How we're numb to the pain

What we've seen and all we've done

I'm on the floor letting no screams out

Somehow, it doesn't hurt anymore.
We grew close as children,

Orphans under a roof

And they spied on us

We had stolen textbooks
Hidden in our rooms

We had had enough

We ran for dreamland

Down the rainy roads

A man came to us

In the night, he brought us home
Soon,

All of us were tucked in beds
With new sheets

And I,

Sipped warm water as I listened to him speak

"You beautiful children

Are the war at it's worst

You've been on the base all your lives.

And me, well I run things here, you're safe by my side.

I'm alone now, since I lost my wife."
We saved his life, I'm sure of it

Old and grey

We gave him the love he lost

And became his family

He gave us our education

We were thirsty for more

And when the call came in we were all

Taken off guard -
"Yes, hello, Sergeant Rondaine

Special Ops, America.

Your teens have demonstrated

Everything we could ever want."
We're on the field killing a man now -

How come it doesn't hurt anymore?
