[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.
