NO LAND’S MAN

NO LAND'S MAN - Erica Buettner

The cars are rattling serpentine

Shaky vertebrae in the highway's spine

They're winding toward the electric fence

That sprawls across the borderline

When you meet the guards

Wear your thickest skin

But when we embrace

Please make it thin

It's too easy to lose feeling

In the kind of world

We're living in

Maybe I

Come from you

Maybe you

Come from me too

It's 5 am on the borderline

And this no land's man

Is the man of mine

We do have faith

For each wall they build

We can build a taller ladder

We do have faith

That there is a point

Where a wall too tall

Will shatter

We're only heading where

We were heading

All along

We are transgressing

Every line that our hands

Have drawn

It's 5 am on the borderline

And this no land's man

Is the man of mine
