[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.
