Exfil

Heartbeat low.
Rotor black.
One life out.
No turning back.
Exfil.
One life out.
Exfil.
One life out.
ONE LIFE OUT.
Smoke thins slow.
Bird stays low.
Boots leave prints
where the cold winds blow.
Line still tight.
No parade.
Just breath and mud
and the debt we paid.
One life intact.
Not clean.
Not free.
Home got walls
that remember me.
No save file.
No fresh start.
Run came home
and moved in my heart.
Exfil.
One life out.
Exfil.
One life out.
Still calm.
Still no doubt.
Exfil.
One life out.
Grocery light.
Bedroom dark.
Phone face glows
like a briefing mark.
Rotor gone
but the ceiling shakes.
Every quiet night
got a door that breaks.
I don't cheer.
I don't kneel.
I just count breath
till my pulse turns steel.
Calm stayed with me.
Cold stayed too.
One life out
with the ghosts in view.
The gamer reloads.
The operator remembers.
The screen goes black.
The body stays.
EXFIL.
Rain on glass.
Sirens gone.
City sleeps
like it did no wrong.
Black bag shut.
Boots by door.
I came back once.
I am not before.
Index still white.
Jaw still tight.
Old rooms open
in the dead of night.
Flak rash ghost
down my side.
Every scar ticks.
None of them died.
Clean hands far.
Cold ground near.
Dead friends talk
when the house goes clear.
No respawn.
No clean sleep.
Just one life out
and a vow I keep.
Hold the tether.
Stick together.
Calm cool mind.
Aim better.
If the run follows,
let it follow.
If the ghosts knock,
I know the hollow.
If the night calls,
I don't bow.
I made it out.
I live here now.
Exfil.
One life out.
Exfil.
One life out.
Still calm.
Still no doubt.
Exfil.
One life out.
Exfil.
One life out.
Exfil.
One life out.
No parade.
No loud shout.
Exfil.
One life out.
Heartbeat low.
Rotor black.
Breath held tight.
No coming back.
One life.
No respawn.
No respawn.
No respawn.
