A nation so starved for love 
so willing to strangle it out of any space they can grasp 
but too selfish to give any of their own 
Afraid there will be none left

A people so oblivious to those around too caught up in our own lives to realize 
 some of us don't come from loving homes of warmth
 but prisons with blood wardens with cold eyes


No some of us would rather die and some of us have searching for that one moment to change it all
That one second that proves were not transparent but just alive as everyone
For a hand to reach or heart that holds
Just a moment in the story of our life
