  • She turns like the ocean
    She tells no emotion
    She's been gunning down the fight

    She's just reminiscing
    Blood, sweat, and one thing's missing
    She's been breaking up inside, inside

    Singing without tongues
    Screaming without lungs
    I want more than my lonely nation
    I want more than my lonely nation
    Desperate we are young
    Separate we are one
    I want more than my desperation
    I want more than my lonely nation

    We are the target market
    We set the corporate target
    We are slaves of what we want
    We're just not amused
    And we're just used to bad news
    And we are slaves of what we want

    Singing without tongues
    Screaming without lungs
    I want more than my lonely nation
    I want more than my lonely nation
    Desperate we are young
    Separate we are one
    I want more than my desperation
    I want more than my lonely nation

    Lonely, lonely

    Don't leave me hollow
    I'm tired
    Don't leave me hollow
    I'm tired of feeling low
    Feeling hollow
    I'm tired of feeling low
    Feeling hollow
    I'm tired of feeling low
    Feeling hollow
    I'm tired of feeling low
    Feeling hollow
    Feeling hollow
    Feeling hollow

    Singing without tongues
    Screaming without lungs
    I want more than my desperation
    I want more than my lonely nation
    Desperate we are young
    Separate we are one
    I want more than my lonely nation
    I want more than my lonely nation
    I want more than my lonely nation
    I want more than my lonely nation Writer/s: Jonathan Mark Foreman, Timothy David Foreman

  • Marvelboy_04 from Nc, NcThis is a song about how even though we in America hace all the different ways of communicating with each other such as emails, text messages and cellphones we are as a whole such a lonely nation.I think The rest of the album shows you why we are such a lonely nation
    and how we can be not alone through God.(This is a Christian band.)
