Natural Disaster
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 foundationOr an economic tragedy tore apart its familyThey'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 wallsWhere 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 foundationOr and economic tragedy tore apart its familyThey're all empty.They're all empty.
