Life after the nuclear bomb

I remember those nights were so miserable,
and reading about them even now makes me never want to repeat them again.
My life is different now.
Those were the darkest days.

And if I never see his face again, I'll be able to sleep at night.

I treat everything as arbitrary.
I am neither here nor there.
Invest in nothing,
each day is lived as if it's my last.
There is a strong sense of mortality in those around me,
and I know that it can be that easy just to be claimed by the violent tides.

I've kept my nose to the ground,
I've tried my hand at temporary sobriety,
if not concealed drunken folly.

At any moment, we could perish.

My life is a moving reel.
