Natural Disaster - City and Colour

Can you imagine all the homes abandoned and all alone?

With no one left to care for their wilting bones

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 growin' like it did long ago

Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation

Or an economic tragedy tore apart its family

They’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 walls

Where 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 foundation

Or and economic tragedy tore apart it’s family

They’re all empty

They’re all empty
