| [00:03.00] |
Television dials completely out of style, and no one's too sure if they work. |
| [00:08.80] |
Frayed wires hanging above the remains of hopeful mice |
| [00:10.40] |
Who took a roll of the dice |
| [00:11.90] |
And tried to nest on top of that box that once projected murmurs of wars. |
| [00:17.80] |
Books stacked on books, water stains mixing with the artwork dye. |
| [00:22.00] |
Atop the loft of literature there for looks, sits Catcher In the Rye. |
| [00:27.00] |
A story built the same year as this house. |
| [00:28.91] |
A classic build with a vintage tone, but no proof that this house was ever a home. |
| [00:36.77] |
Books stacked on books in a cart table that once hosted Monday night rook, |
| [00:41.00] |
A cold neighbor of piles of dust, evidence of rust, a pinnacle for broken trust. |
| [00:48.00] |
Books stacked on books by five frozen beings seated at the kitchen nook. |
| [00:53.66] |
Newspapers that block the faces of what are assumed to be parents |
| [00:57.87] |
But it's apparent there's no connection, |
| [01:00.00] |
Just existence in the correlation between DNA and similar genetics. |
| [01:05.17] |
Familiar faces to each other but no souls connected, |
| [01:08.91] |
No wires intertwine just covered by the same physical canopy. |
| [01:13.71] |
Genetics may define similarities, but don't always define a family. |
| [01:19.21] |
With books stacked on books, disrepairing, lack of emotional continuity. |
| [01:28.00] |
The stereotypical story of drones in a thriving society. |
| [01:33.41] |
Missing out on the proclamation that they need to team up |
| [01:36.95] |
Because deeper recession is always coming. |
| [01:41.00] |
Books stacked on books, sharing stories of families like these, |
| [01:45.98] |
Not rejoicing in the fact that we aren't struggling, or are we? |
| [01:51.91] |
With boys from war arriving home, |
| [01:55.27] |
Missionaries being killed with no access to the phone. |
| [01:59.87] |
Heartlets selling their innocence to put meat on their bones. |
| [02:04.00] |
A fallen union now a broken home, |
| [02:07.22] |
The similarities to the brokeness overseas in this cold family |
| [02:12.91] |
Is the fact that just like those broken hearts, |
| [02:16.00] |
Our houses are empty and the lack of love does not discriminate against the rich or the wealthy. |
| [02:22.00] |
Brokeness affects all who lack the love of a family. |
| [02:27.00] |
And maybe mom and dad decided to leave you alone |
| [02:30.50] |
But you have family that want you to sit on the right side of a beautiful throne |
| [02:35.00] |
Cause you don't deserve to live empty. |
