Can you imagine all the homes abandoned and all alone?
|
With no one left to care for them, wilting in moss.
|
The paint is peeling off the walls.
|
The corners are filled up with dust.
|
Cigarette smoke hangs in the air,
|
And the grass ain't growing like it did long ago.
|
|
Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation
|
Or an economic tragedy tore apart its family
|
They're all empty.
|
|
The pipes have long since seized.
|
The windows are all boarded up.
|
There's no electricity flowing through these lifeless veins.
|
Cracks are running down the walls
|
Where picture frames used to hang.
|
A hint of heartbreak still lingers in the air,
|
And weeds have choked the breath out of it long ago.
|
|
Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation
|
Or and economic tragedy tore apart its family
|
They're all empty.
|
They're all empty.
